The DoD will pay its fines 500#s at a time.

Oh my, the US military might have to change the name of the list to, "Foreign companies we're blacklisting for classified reasons". How terrible.

Xhamster slides in undetected...

That's more freedom than Texas

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 7 points 3 hours ago

Basically any site that they don't have full control over/can't buy favor from and has the ability to spread info they dislike, even if it's something as simple as 2+2=4".

And if you're looking for someone outside of China to blame for their internet shield, Cisco was responsible for helping them set it up.

National weather service???

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

(tin foil hat)

The government... They control the weather information... Satellites... Weather machines... Snorts cocaine we can't trust them we need to trust our eyes...

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

I'm sorry but you know too much. Come with me.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Uh ... why SCMP? Isn't that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Come SCMP! Do better, no one likes soft blow jobs.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.

Don't try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.

"We're banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that's anti-competitive".

Of course it’s not a military company, it’s an espionage company.

Normally, espionage can collaborate with other branches of government, apart from the military.
