It's not ok that the CCP block foreign apps either. Now that the yanks are blocking Chinese apps they can't complain about the CCP blocking theirs.

What if we complain about both

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's what I'm doing

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But yanks aren't allowed to?

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yanks can't complain about China blocking shit if their own government is doing the same. It's like 2 brothers arguing about who annoyed who first. Shame Gaia can't just tell them both to be nice to each other.

P.s. I'm not pretending my government is perfect. Ffs we used to censor our immigrants by skin colour and place of birth.

There's no hypocrisy if they're complaining about both. People aren't that responsible for the stupid things their government does.

100% about the hypocrisy. Agree to disagree on citizen responsibility levels as it may differ in our respective countries. Freedom of assembly is something I hold dear to my heart.
