.world posting about censorship when they preemptively censor any discussion about piracy is hilarious.
They were never even warned by authorities, one of the admins is paranoid and loves intellectual property.

.world pre-emptively blocked the piracy comms because they are ostensibly based in Germany and have to abide by EU rules re: promotion/discussion of copyright infringement.
Despite the fact that they were never even issued a warning for such an obscure internet forum, and plausible deniability because the content wasn’t even theirs, they thought it’s better be paranoid safe than sorry.
ETA: so now .world has a stricter and more draconian policy regarding the discussion of piracy than Reddit, a publically traded entity based in the US, which has even harsher copyright infringement laws.
There’s a whole bunch of .world Americans in the comments.
鬼佬 be out in force.
Slight nitpick(a)
You wrote 西 (xī) which means west. You probably meant 习 (xí), referring to the president.
Also in “Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China” you wrote 金 (jīn) which means gold, when it should be 就.
…how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don’t really see much oppression happening.
Must be a new anti-白左 legislation of some sort.
.world has one disadvantage: It has to follow the laws of the Netherlands, Finland AND Germany.
So theoretically, if something’s legal for the Dutch and Finns but illegal in Germany, it’s not ok on .world. I believe it used to be smaller but I think they expanded admin teams? Idk how a single non profit website is somehow beholden to the laws of 3 separate countries.
It would be hilarious if they expanded this further. They add a country where alcohol sale is illegal? Recommendations for cocktails are now against TOS. For all. Add Singapore? Oops, discussing procurement of chewing gum is now against TOS. USA? Kinder Surprise is against TOS.
It’s Spez’s Lemmy account.
Is this a sequel to the hit 1998 Nokia game Snake?
Watch as Ford start a colour revolution in Paris to protect their bottom line.
Parisians yearn for freedom (to buy toddler killing SUVs). Ford cafeterias are going to change French Fries to Freedom Fries in the year of our lord 2024.
Reading that post, the OP linked an unsourced Imgur album with blatant lies like “10,000 people were incinerated and hosed down drains” spliced between actual photos of the protest is fucking wild. The 10,000 figure was reported once then immediately retracted, the fact that OP was posting blatant propaganda as fact was conveniently left out as “tankie censorship”.
Let’s put that into perspective: US intelligence officially puts the number below 900. The OP was saying it’s over 10,000. It’s an order of magnitude above the 3 letter agencies of the US.
