    Don’t trust Reuters just yet, especially when their source is anonymous. They once said that Intel was planning factory in Vietnam, then they alone said that Intel cancelled it. Their source is anonymous in both instances. And only Reuters is talking about it.

    That’s a shame. I want someone to do something about live service games so fucking badly. Fuckin exploitative scams that specifically target those with mental health issues, gambling problems, and the neurodiverse.

      That’s my angle too tbh. Big tech in general has been allowed to colonise our minds to an extent that in my opinion is criminal. Research has always lagged behind tech “innovations” and legislation has been extremely hands off. It would be nice if the tech industry is reigned in. Even stuff like GDPR feels insignificant.

        GDPR’s first form was actually decent for what it was meant for, but that spooked tech giants, and with their lobbying (or whatever europeans call it) they poked so many holes in it that it’s basically a colander with the botton cut out.

    I’m hoping this is taken as a sign by the CPC to have their youth wing engaged more actively in politics. A lot of these rules seem well meaning, but lack understanding of the things they’re censoring, enabling or limiting. Party membership skews older, so it would be nice to see more active attempts at getting the youth’s voices heard.

      These new ‘rules’ are only in the phase of public consultation right now. So this is like a non-story in the first place. Also, from what I understand, the youth wing is very engaged.

    this is only barely a story. i have very little confidence in western news reporting on anonymous sources out of china. i am very willing to believe that this official is getting removed because of the backlash to this, as china does have a reputation for having actual consequences to fucking up their economy, but anything beyond “we aren’t going to do the regulations exactly like that” is completely unfounded speculation

    Why we have to get involved in every Chinese event and politics, that’s their country and people. They will decide what’s good for them.
