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.

That's more freedom than Texas

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 7 points 2 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 9 points 4 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 2 points 7 minutes ago

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

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

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

[–] Xyii@fasheng.ing 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The list is not entirely correct.

From china

Ironically.....

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 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".

Low effort post

[–] neatobuilds 1 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

We should have done the same

Hard disagree, censorship is not welcome in a free society. I dislike a number of those sites and haven't heard of most of the rest, but I wouldn't ban a single one.

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.
