facebook, inc. is not just an amiercan issue. For years they have been nefariously bribing other countries to promote their website.
Take for example internet.org internet takeover attempt in India, or a better example, in Brazil facebook, inc. bribes local telcom providers to provide whatsapp access for free ( users are not charged data usage )
their agenda is clear. abuse and lie through their teeth, making as much money and power as possible.
In all my experience using wikipedia it has been successful at providing facts and accurate references.
I don't mean to attack the speaker here, but that former cofounder of wikipedia you just cited... isn't he an extremist neo-conservative? Why did he leave wikipedia in the first place? What are his proposed solutions?
Whether you agree with science is up to you, and you can voice your opinion on it because in US we have the bill of rights ( thank you, founding fathers... )
But voicing an opinion and labeling it science, without using the scientific method, that's ignorance.
As far as I'm aware, the biggest innovation out of China in the past 300 years has been the face-kini.
Seriously though, has this country produced any new invention? I would expect a country with 1.5 billion would come up with something novel. I can think of nothing unique, only modification of existing inventions.
Tell that to the Indian government, who straight put US webtech corporations in their place recently. By the way, what is Variety.com ? It's a name I recall hearing before, but what corporation owns Variety?
Well, I don't even want to touch the first part of this comment, there are smarter people than I that can put that logical fallacy to sleep.
Also, please don't be disingenuous, it is entirely feasible and reasonable to legally distinguish between a blog with 10 monthly visitors, and a corporation with 100 million monthly visitors.
Far be it for me to get sucked into politics, but I think the difference here can be explained that more evidence came out. It is only now becoming clear exactly how detrimental, and for how long the CCP has been obstructing investigations.
The more time that passes, the more clear it is that there is some obstructionism, and that makes the CCP look guilty.
I don't think either US political party said that no further scrutiny should be applied. Everyone wanted more investigation.
I also think that we should focus on the issue. If you want to make another issue about bias in the mainstream media, that's a much larger can of worms, and I definitely support that and agree with you.
This is one of the biggest use cases for "crypto assets" that I can think of. Perhaps the only one, aside from ring of trust and public key distribution.
