I did say the exact opposite…

Its not even close. For example, end-to-end encryption is standard in the west. In China its heavily restricted and basically non-existant.

Generally one of the best tech channels!

Also the source is a well known source of fake news, controlled by Qatar, owned by a Palestinian. Definitely don’t trust it, until a reliable source confirms this.

MEE is anything, but ‘reputable’. Its a Hamas outlet financed by Qatar, run by a Palestinian, with a vast history of spreading fakenews.

If you watch the guys over at hexbear and lemmy.ml thats a good thing because censorship is good, because it secures societal peace. I wonder how they explain that thousands of people use these tools then.
