... Lord knows that's going to help depressed people...
"Literally everyone is happy but me! There's obviously something wrong with me."
Much health, very help, wow.
The BBC reporting like "netizens in China may soon find posts hidden when sharing content like "life is pointless and we should all kill ourselves" " and people in this thread read that as "the CEECEEPEE is Banning people for being SAD", yep cool, the usual then?
and here I'm banned from a significant portion of lemmy.world for telling people to not post racist and misogynist bullshit
I'm especially glad how this government campaign focuses on a clearly defined terminology that differentiates between trolly doom posting and affected people in a bad situation just expressing themselves online. It's great how they don't just use subjective terms like "negative content" or "sensationalized" or "trivial" , and then straight punish platforms for posts fitting these very wide terms. Cause you know, platforms definitely won't be overly careful with what they allow, when there's a threat of actual punishment. This is definitely a well thought out campaign, that's well thought out to take care of some unfortunate citizens.
More control... that should cheer the heck out of Chinese people...
It sure makes the ML crowd salivate.
Pooh declaring war on Eeyore I see
Lol, well, maybe if Eeyore would can it once in a while and just let people enjoy things....
Is it the program real or is it another "social credit score"?
