    Is your argument that Chinese government is not using technology to restrict freedoms?

    How is that being upvoted

    I would say that decades of western Hollywood has primed the population to mistrust any new technology and only see potential dystopian ends in exchange for entertainment. Combined with China spreading propaganda to encourage those views in western nations. Sites like lemmy and Facebook are heavily used as generators to spread mistrust.

      No this is not what I’m saying but apparently both of you can’t read. I said that Chinese people historically have never had our same amount of freedoms so to them it’s not that big of a deal and its just nothing more than a tool to increase productivity. In the west it’s different because we do indeed have freedoms that are going to be restricted
