China is a capitalist shithole but for some reason its biggest defenders are always self proclaimed western communists.

edit: we also have a few militant communists groups that like to blow up chinese nationals working for their govt every now and then.

Hold up. You think the Chinese are the ones deciding to manufacture low quality products, and not the capitalists who are ordering them that way?

Chinese brands owned by Chinese capitalists operating with consent from the chinese state.

spreading their wealth to those in need

Using planned obsolescence and taking advantage of poor consumer and environmental protection laws to sell garbage to people trapped in a cycle of poverty isn't exploitation? Also China 'invested' billions here too and we didnt get any hospitals. We got china flooding our markets with its shitty goods and chinese 'businessmen' running scam centers.

They value mutually beneficial relationships

they do have a mutually beneficial relationship with our dictators.

You do it by exploiting the billions outside your borders from countries even more poor like mine where they sell their garbage low quality products that cant be repaired or recycled, from shitty earphones to bikes that start breaking down in a year, taking advantage of poor people who cant afford to buy anything of better quality. China isnt better than us when it comes to exploitation and inequality.

Probably because you're accessing it from a country where its not available. free.facebook.com is also another link that only works in countries their internet.org is available in.

Thats what internet.org was about, fb partnered with major telecoms in many countries with no net neutrality laws to let people use fb for free and a few other websites but except for wikipedia most were pretty much useless.

It comes preinstalled in a lot of phones and cant be uninstalled and in some phones they dont preinstall the main fb app instead they'd have something like 'facebook manager' or 'something service' which only shows up in app list when you select the "show system apps" option.

if something makes linux more secure, safer or easier to use then it'll be hated because people in the linux community are allergic to all those things. Secure boot? they hate it, wayland? they hate it, immutability? they hate it, flatpaks/sandboxed app? they hate it, gnome? they hate it. Even rust is hated by many.

A sample size of one is pretty much useless. The only good thing to come out of his work is the publicity and public interest in anti aging imo.

also fb employee

"Morale is super high," reads the post from a self-described engineer. "We are paid a ton. Looking forward to my yearly bonus of $100k. Fuck ethics. Money is everything."

If they actually wanted to do something about child abuse they'd go after the conserative scum who have historically supported it and still do. Its the ones that vote for far right parties, are anti higher-ed, pro homeschooling, anti secularism, pro religious indoctrination, anti feminist, anti age of consent laws, anti sex ed, anti criminalisation of marital rape, anti combating domestic violence, pro child marriages etc instead they are constantly trying to attack human's right to privacy which only exist on paper.
