Oh no I can’t go on Facebook and see my transphobic great aunt go on racist rants in between ai slop Jesus pictures, how will I ever survive
XI LET ME INNNNNNNN
lmao yeah that's a feature
Also like... my friend is in china rn and she's able to do everything fine lol
VPNs are pretty readily available and while technically not legal there’s no enforcement. It’s an annoyance but not much more.
it's literally them using the whole piracy vs streaming service effect to do internet protectionism imo lol, people will pay for stuff when it's convienent but when you make it annoying (having to swap between several apps while paying 100+ a month etc.), they will just start pirating again. same thing here, make it kinda annoying to access the rest of the internet (which is dominated by english speakers anyways) and the average person just goes "eh fuck that, ima just login to XHS or whatever"
We have seen with TikTok how the US reacts as soon as there is a single mayor foreign platform.
I'm in China rn and can confirm, very very easy to get a VPN

Can’t access chapo.chat without a VPN
they need to grow their domestic version of chapo.chat, it's a protectionist policy

I'm curious if they'll be able to snatch up the foreign tech workers in the US who are getting yanked around by Trump and ICE and H1B bullshit.
I'm gonna see if it's something I can do. I got laid off because of this AI bullshit and I'd love to GTFO of the US
Inshallah! you will!
Let me know how this goes. Very curious
Good luck!
If RedNote comments are any indication, I'll be surprised if many Indians end up in this program.
this one would be willing if it turns out that china's version isn't as exploitative as the american one
I literally fell down to my knees at Walmart
