Imagine having a government that demands things of its corporations instead of the other way around
Imagine having a Government that uses political prisoners as forced laborers.
Actually all prisoners in America are political prisoners because politics determines the laws that put them in prison
That’s a funny way to put it, but kinda sorta true. Anti-cannabis laws for majority black users…
No need to imagine. Slavery is conditionally legal in the US, as written in the Thirteenth Amendment.
Hey cunts hey fucks. Both governments use forced labor. It is bad that they both do it. That is a bad thing both empires do. Neither gets any browny points. Neither of YOU get any fucking browny points for comparative slavery economics. Jesus Horatio Actual Fucking Christ.
The person you’re replying to never even refuted the claim about China. Many people don’t know about the 13th amendment, so it’s actually relevant to the conversation. Your weirdly hostile reply isn’t relevant because it’s reductive and misplaced. If you truly cared about forced labor, you wouldn’t be trying to squash conversation about it.
No, it’s just Yankeestan.
yeah just imagine

Imagine having a government that uses incarcerated people of colour as forced laborers.
Why not both?
Because there is actual evidence for Yankeestan while there is no evidence for this happening in China. Not only that, but per capita incarceration rate in China is far lower than in US overall.
Lemmy has no problems with this.
nah, its a big step ahead of letting unelected billionaires control discourse, instead of an elected governing body.
But it’s still better than Reddit, e.g.
Lemmy is still shit governance wise. It’s just a bunch of fiefdom managed by god knows who, there’s absolutely nothing democratic about it.
no one corporation can censor it or turn it into an altright cesspool.
every individual or company can have a federated instance if they please. lemmy is more akin to the old forums, which are a massive step forward.
not perfect; much better.
although i think my op was responding to another comment and i did a wrong.
China doing something
System providers should avoid recommendation algorithms that create “echo chambers” and induce addiction, allow manipulation of trending items, or exploit gig workers’ rights, the notice said.
They should also crack down on unfair pricing and discounts targeting different demographics, ensure “healthy content” for elderly and children, and impose a robust “algorithm review mechanism and data security management system”.
