We're talking about foreigners: if you are a guest in someone's country, home, wherever, you should be respectful and quiet.

I don't want any foreigners contributing to any political activism whatsoever, regardless of ideology.

Why do you allow then foreign lobby groups?

Or why did you allow Elon to participate in elections, he was a foreigner at some point and he wasn't born in America?

This has little to do with a single country and more with the fact that if someone is willing to fight for anything other than the current administration then one day they might fight against the current administration directly. Same reason Stalin sent those who fought in the Warsaw Uprising against the Germans to Siberia. Today it's the Germans, tomorrow it may be the Soviets.

> "if someone is willing to fight for anything other than the current administration then one day they might fight against the current administration directly."

So what? isn't the core idea in democracy "ruled by the people", Why can't you fight against the current administration with your opinion and opposition to their ideas?

Do you think you would be granted a visa by China if your social media was full of anti-China rhetoric?

tuyguntn · 8 months ago

it's strange that you are comparing democracy with a communism.

Wasn't the whole premise of democracy to express yourself freely and the core idea was "rule by the people"?

If country claims that they are democracy, then they should give people to add their opinion to rule the country, China is following its own core idea, ruled by a single party.

So many things are being done to protect a single country outside of the USA, even on a different continent, including losing its credibility about free speech and human rights.

No one is pretending this is about terrorism now. They're explicit this is about curbing political activism by foreign students. Some outside the US miss that because few countries would have given foreign students this much room for activism in the first place.

Do you think US embassy will reject political activism if it was against China?

I think neither Facebook nor Instagram will let you create an account that isn’t tied to a phone. They don’t quite give a clear explanation of this.

If I was trying to create a social media site in 2025 I’d be trying to grease the skids to make it as easy to sign up as possible, but Facebook has the problem that it probably has more people trying to create smurph accounts than trying to sign up for the first time.

there might be a correlation in the demographic chart to what you are saying: https://recurpost.com/blog/facebook-statistics/

largest chunk seems to be between 25-34, who got their accounts setup, younger generation going to tiktok/snapchat, older generation (like myself) giving up creating an account probably

I am constantly seeing an appeal screen with this message:

    XYZ, you submitted an appeal
    Check back here for the result.
    Your account is not visible to people on Facebook, and you can't use it.
    ...

after 2 days, I see account banned message. Tried with bunch of my personal emails with different domains, on a different locations with different IPs.
