Liam needs to be replaced by his based communist dad who continually calls Liam out on his dipshit anticommunism

There is a large group of users who believe that Reddit having Tencent investment means they'll get banned for posting anti-China stuff, as if Reddit isn't the most sinophobic place on the internet

Unfortunately a lot of them are doing it by being chauvinistic as fuck by saying that is Tencent owns even a fraction of something then the entire platform automatically becomes an evil SeeSeePee propaganda tool

Cool, someone gave him money

I wasn't aware that elections were decided on which candidate had a larger wallet. I'm fairly sure it's decided on campaigns and votes. Something about an electoral college? I dunno I'm not American

It is somewhat organic though, like the US did seed a lot of the propaganda initially, but like most of the West's propaganda it's self-fuelling now. It used to be that people kept to within the lines of the propaganda, now people just invent whatever the fuck they want and the scarier it sounds, the more real it could possibly be - and if you push back, well, you're just a red fash tankie SeeSeePee shill

Like I've seen people just whip out the most asinine shit about China clear out of thin air, and not from terminally online users either. I know someone who's otherwise fully disconnected from politics and online discourse but truly believes that China is building back doors into consumer cleaning robots so that they can map out someone's house and, if they ever speak ill of China, break in and kidnap them to disappear them. He doesn't even mean like dissidents living here, he straight up thinks China will disappear random Canadians for speaking ill of Xi around their Roomba

The ad revenue is worthless compared to the facial recognition data it can generate. They've all got inward facing cameras, and most have outward facing ones. The company gets the absolute best marketing data they possibly can: demographic information, a face to match to other information, what products you looked for, how long you shopped around for a product, which products your ultimately bought

It's an immensely invasive system but incredibly lucrative for the company. Millions of data points for millions of shoppers nationwide to sell off

They should absolutely let the ban happen then. Influencers are modern day snake oil scammers, and infinitely more harmful, given how often they're scamming children

A just society wouldn't allow someone to become a multimillionaire off of promoting drop shipped garbage and other scams

Libs will praise this because at least they're given the opportunity to ask their government to provide documents, because if you asked this in China or Russia they would execute you, disappear you, then send you a document full of lies and propaganda before sending you to the gulag

Western sources refuse to report on the truth, and any non-western source is automatically dismissed as biased disinformation propaganda etc

Can't counter a narrative if no accepted sources ever differ

Hi how're ya

This comment doesn't really make any sense, would you mind clarifying?

Me and the pals watching this "Roman slaveowner" with 105 IQ fail to maintain his crops during our yearly seccessio plebis

Open the Mega Buffoon pack there, you might find Pareidolia and suddenly the entire deck is face cards

Gamble it all on face cards

Encounter the boss blind that debuffs face cards

Curse Jimbo and start again
