Apple’s China ties under Congressional scrutiny after Jon Stewart cancellation | Lawmakers demand that Apple commit to not censoring content critical of China.::Lawmakers demand that Apple commit to not censoring content critical of China.
Ffffuuuccccckkkk China the government. Get your fucking jets out of Taiwan airspace. Each time you do(5am), our jets have to scramble and it wakes everyone up. Fucking stop. We trying to sleep.
Yes, but aren’t you now even more positively inclined towards “reunification”? /s
Oh man. It just pisses us off even more. I def not going to vote for the KMTs. The front runner is a douche for the KMTs.
I am very sorry you all are living like that, it would drive me mad.
It’s worse right now because the next Taiwan election is coming up soon and they want to intimidate us into voting for the KMT faction which wants to merge into the CCP.
Real question. Does Tiwan in average care for English speaking tourists? Because I’d love to bring my family. I have always wanted to go to china too, but, yeah, maybe not.
It does, you will feel very welcome there. In Taipei, English is no problem at all
If you come here, you will almost be treated like a celebrity. Almost everyone speaks English or tries extremely hard to communicate with you. If you have kids, it’s a very kid friendly country. They value kids welfare above all. So you will find many places are geared towards family and moms and kids.
If you come here and visit. Feel free to DM me. I’ll give you some pointers!
Imagine thinking Jon Stewart of all people wouldn’t talk about certain political situations. Apple TV + looks like it won’t last long if all their content is pandering to Winnie.
When has Jon ever shied away from any discussion?
Padme: These protections will extend to criticisms of Israel, right?
Anakin: …
Has someone’s show been cancelled over criticisms of Israel?
I’d consider Israel’s recent movements, to ban Journalism the government disagrees with, to be far more dangerous that a private company cancelling a show…
Sure, but I mean in countries like US.
China bans all kinds of stuff within their own borders already and nobody bats an eye…
It’s illegal to boycott Israel in 35 states, does that count?
I think compelled speech is as legal as prohibited speech. Great that Congress develops a spine in an issue they’re legally incapable of affecting.
Congress is absolutely capable of affecting this. For example they could force Apple to withdraw from China (they way they have done with Nvidia).
(I’m not saying they will, but they definitely could)
Ties to China?? Uhh how about “hundreds of millions of people in China buy our phones” and that’s a lottttttt of money"
Ideally we wouldn’t sacrifice our ideals of freedom for money. This is America though and we’re all capitalist whores first and foremost though.
Next Wednesday they’ll demand censorship of content critical of Israel and the US MIC as “disinformation”.
John Stewart is very smart and incredibly capable in his space but my god is he not funny. His comedy is the worst part of any of his shows, I hope they continue this because he is very passionate and informative but it probably wasn’t all that popular either in comparison to John Oliver.
Bullshit to be cancelled for criticism of China though.
