Does it?

美国民主党=CCP，中国的CCP就是美国民主党扶持起来的邪恶政党。没有美国民主党的支持。CCP就不会奴役中国人76年这么久。美国民主党是邪恶政党。

Well, ironically privacy is a protected right (PIPL - 2021) but historical heavy censorship is also a no brainer. And censorship will get worse, even globally. That’s not my point. The capability of bitchat as infrastructure covers a wider surface of use cases and innovation, including many encrypted tools that could be used within own products, internal groups that need privacy, etc or the products it exports. Right now it’s seen as an activism tool that limits its tech growth opportunity. Also, understanding why Beijing is extremely sensitive towards how the world has treated it wouldn’t hurt.

Uncensored infra gets banned in China all the time. Does not matter what people say on it.

It might also help to differentiate between infra tools and foreign public opinion tools. Maybe if they viewed bitchat as a neutral infra like Linux or TCP/IP it might be fine. But they likely saw it as a US-aligned opinion tool.

A good 99% of replies from Nostr and twitter are quick to judge, vilify, and rarely question why or what led to it. Having a vantage point of seeing both east and west, terms like ’freedom of speech’, ‘liberation’, ‘democracy’ ,while incredibly necessary, have been heavily weaponized by orgs that act as extensions of Western intelligence - and it might explain the severe distrust.

I believe its important to actively differentiate between giving people agency vs. having ulterior motives, and being pro-people instead of pro-opposition.

do they know about zapstore?

In preparation for the pressure high oil prices will place on the Chinese state?

“App Review” means bidness

this is where “national security” vs freedom of speech is at a constant battle. Not sure if timing is coincidence, but KMT and CCP are meeting this week for the first high-level talks in many years, where the stated policy goal of both sides (in principle) is a possible reunification. Its a big week for China, and heightened security is likely. That said, China and its developers are deeply involved in open source, so it would be interesting to see if a China fork of this project emerges.

Sadly, we know that they don’t like the freedom to communicate.
