I reject the accusation of "whataboutism". Let's take those in order. "Why have I made 5~6 comments in the thread?" It's an interesting topic that I've spent over 5 years researching. "Why are you talking about the…
This is a good illustration of American brainwashing. In the Chinese system, everyone is informed - but is not allowed to question the systems' structure. In the United States, pressure is applied to the adknowlegement…
I think the point of coldtea's comment is that: - We're being inconsistent with our criticism, unwilling to apply it as a universal standard - We're talking about others (Chinese) needing to rebel, blaming this on…
False equivalence AND conspiracy theory? Lol. In order... "False equivalence": Nope, not saying they are equivalent. "Conspiracy theory": Nope, read the reporting on the Snowden documents, fusion centers, legal cases…

I mean, I wouldn't trade my life for almost any other life - even a life of greater wealth and power. But to take the point you've made and work through its conclusions: Hacker News skews heavily privileged male…
The cartoon at the top of this article (squinty eyes, fatty short figure) makes me uncomfortable, as it edges pretty close to old racist depictions of Asians and Blacks from half a century ago. That said, the article…

That's amazing. I always assumed that the Hajj to Mecca was the largest.
If you read the reporting on the subject, you'll learn it is from government pressure. I agree with you, and think its endemic of the app ecosystem.
It mentions it in the article. Supporters keep putting it back up and Apple continuously takes it down (under pressure of the US gov). For context, the app was created to track human rights abuses during the disclosure…
