I look forward to the people who don't realize that Red Note will just get banned too.

I don’t think they care. For most, this is just a middle finger to the government

Middle finger to the US or Chinese government?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

It goes both ways, users are giving the middle finger to the US gov, the US gov is giving the middle finger to the Chinese gov. Lots of middle fingers flying around.

The problem is that that sometimes if you give the government the finger... you might not get it back.

You just need to be careful of which part of gov you give the finger to, and where you are when you give it.

Snowden did it the right way, he gave the middle finger on foreign soil and made it to an enemy of the state's soil before the gov caught up.
