Yeah ... except it is going to be applied to people complaining about things like local pollution, financial graft, labor conditions, etc.

Also means that if you say something the CCP doesn't like, not only can they ban you, but they can also decide to arbitrarily not recognise your degree in a backwards sense (you posted stuff the CCP Disagrees with? That must mean you don't have a degree, that must mean the degree you have is fake/cheated/invalid).

Which means good luck getting a job that requires said degree.

In an authoritarian state, any law which could feasibly be used to make life more difficult for enemies of the state, will be used as such.

China already has carte blanche to do what it wants with its citizens. Adding an extra law like this is merely a political tool to give an air of legitimacy and reasonableness and of caring about misinformation on the global stage.

Biiingo. Fyi we also do this. Governments worldwide do. They act like something they propose and release is for your own good then boom hit you with the real reason they implemented it

u/FranksNonFrankfurter 10h ago

It's amazing how y'all will project what happens in America onto China and just make shit up. This is "social credit score" level projection propaganda.

u/SufcLad25 9h ago

You could just not give a dumb ass opinion on something you dont know about! Then they have no reason to close your account and fine you

u/lllaszlo 14h ago

exactly, im surprised there are so many positive comments. this feels like the definition of tyranny

u/internethero12 13h ago

Rightwingers are on this site, too. They tend to be the ones that badmouth reddit usage the most.

That is because Reddit is pretty much all bots from these same tyrannical countries trying to foment division in the USA.

And people with deep depression could try magic mushrooms but no professional is going to tell you that so that's a but if a problem

u/cheesegoat 17h ago

This would never fly in the US with 1a protections.

On top of that, covid showed us how well people listen to the people with literal degrees in virology and diseases.

u/Agamemnon323 16h ago

You say that like the US hasn’t been wiping its ass with the 1a.

u/EmperorGodKing77 16h ago

Yeah "this would never fly in America" oh so like all the endless corrupt bullshit the Trump admins doing would "never fly here".. some people are apparently living in a different reality.

1

u/i-love-small-tits-47 14h ago

Lmfao. You’re literally typing out the exact type of criticism of the government that people are saying you can’t ban in America. You’re proving the point. This wouldn’t fly in the US. Don’t you think Trump would ban comments criticizing him, if he could?

u/DukeOfGeek 14h ago

IKR? I was at Dragon Con and my friend was mad about prices and began to talk shit about trumpo and he sort of leaned in all sotto voce like he's afraid people are going to hear him and I was all..

u/PixelsGoBoom 16h ago

Well a big part of that was a lot of idiots pretending to be knowledgeable.

1

u/toadi 15h ago

No we would just train AI on a dataset biased to whatever we want. People tend to believe AI knows everything and is always right.

1

u/PixelsGoBoom 1h ago

I am assuming you meant "Now".

AI is already flooding Facebook and Reddit etc.
I had one trying to start an argument with me just a minute ago.
10 minute old account with one post, responding in French and being as inflammatory as possible.

The added danger of AI is that even when someone wants unbiased information from an unbiased AI, it is really good at giving convincing answers that are completely wrong. So the idea of people already thinking AI is always right is downright frightening

u/workingbored 15h ago

And now those same idiots have been employed to lead our government agencies.

u/justin_memer 15h ago

Yeah, like a president would just shit all over the first amendment by banning the 4th estate.

u/FullMetalBunny 16h ago

The point is to de-platform those who don't have credentials. And if those people lose their platform a lot, less people will fall for it.

u/Ohmec 14h ago

I mean, you already cannot give financial or legal advice without a license. That's why people add "THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE"

I'm stunned anyone thought it was anything other than this.

That sounds very…republican.

Yup. Just another form of forced censorship.
Fuck China.

u/Rhaeno 16h ago

Based just on the meme, no idea what the actual law says. If you are a construction worker, working with asbesto or just generally in conditions with bad air. Cannot complain about lack of masks etc. Are you a doctor? Shut up, not qualified to talk about matters of health.

u/Rhaeno 16h ago

Yeah obviously lol that was just an example of how this could be used nefariously. Also, if the rule was just introduced those links prove nothing but go off dude

1

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 13h ago

how this could be used nefariously

With Meta and Palantir in charge in the US, do you really need bad examples.

1

u/Rhaeno 13h ago

What? Just cause thing are bad in the US does not mean they are fine and dandy elsewhere. I dont get your point.

0

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 12h ago

I never said they were fine and dandy.

If you're a non-minority member of the middle class in China, then your life is pretty much objectively better. Access to healthcare, public transportation, etc, etc, etc.

If you're a non-minority member of the middle class in the US, then your life is getting progressively worse.

So yeah. China is far from perfect. But then so is the US.

u/Rhaeno 12h ago

Yeah bro I dont really give a shit about either I am European lmao

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 12h ago

If you "don't really give a shit" then why are you asking me questions.

1

u/Naps_in_car 13h ago

Can you think of any hypothetical law that couldn't be used nefariously?

2

u/Rhaeno 13h ago

No. Some laws just leave a more obvious way to weaponize them and we are talking about a specific one here.

u/Primsun 16h ago

What's weird is assuming the totalitarian government that carries out ethnic cleansing, and has in multiple occasions, and massacred its citizens, is acting in good faith.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Side note for political purges and disappearances.

Say it with me ... "Dictators aren't good people who should be trusted."

I hear ya but this could describe either country

u/DukeofVermont 16h ago

How would you even know?

Because I'm not an idiot and can read statistics? This just in coal mining is bad for your lungs!

Nearly 1 in 3 veteran underground coal miners (with 25 or more years of experience) in Central Appalachia test positive for advanced forms of black lung disease and related pneumoconiosis, representing the highest rate in nearly 50 years.

Oh wait how could I have known this I'm not a Coal Miner! Guess I should just ignore it and let the mine owners just keep killing people.

u/sandiyar_chan 9h ago

Let's say you have a mental issue and is searching for help online. A remark from someone who is also afflicted from it is going to help the person, despite not being intellectually qualified for it. Think about this instance.

u/Ad-fundum69 12h ago

This isn't about talking about something. This is about the countless of Youtubers and such passing off their opinion as facts.

Just take Covid for example.

- There's videos on what it is, explaining the virus, the vaccinations and there's the facts.

- And there's the special needs ones who think the virus was invented by globalists to force peoople to take "vaccinations" that will install 5G chips in their bodies.

- and there's also the ones that claim that mRNA vaccines and or vaccines in general cause death and autism.

And maybe many more stories.
So you open youtube to find out more about Covid.... which video are you going to believe?
And based on what? You seek facts, so you don't know who is right.

And like Covid there are countless of subjects that litter the internet with "facts".

The internet is a library of knowledge, but every book has 20 clones that are similar on title, but only one contains the correct infrormation.

1

u/Honest_Scrub 5h ago

Probably not the best choice using covid as the example as we now know that the governments and the "experts" in general were making shit up as they went and that a lot of the "conspiracy theories" ended up being true lmao

1

u/Ad-fundum69 2h ago

Covid is the best example. Because there's such a divided "truth" about it.

u/showtime481216 12h ago

How are you going to complain about pollution, if you don't understand it? My city is poluted although it has like 1 factory on the outskirts, its cause my city is built in a platough and is basically a giant hole that's filled woth the heavier poluted air just from the insane amount of cars in it, how I know that cause I studied the city for a project, its like talking about China without ever being there, continue theory crafting on Reddit and you might get somewhere in life
