TikTok and Microsoft’s Clock

That is not my argument at all. My argument is not, ignore the things you disagree with. It's: if you want to change them, that cannot be achieved just by denying business with them and with a 'my way or the highway' attitude. Instead, dialog and understanding yield better results. And you're not doing that.

You also state a number of things that I think are not as factual as you believe. I do not know whether you are interested in challenging those believes, so I will keep my mouth shut about them unless you indicate you are willing to.

no snide remark intended, but please do enlighten me.

i understand where you're coming from when you say "denying business with them"... but i believe that approach is taken because it is such a bottoms-down regime. because any business invariably gets approved by the regime and simply benefits the regime. it's not like a dissident is allowed to live there disconnected with the government and do business independently and start a voice/party to challenge the status quo -- that business man is there because the government allowed him to exist and he knows it.

If you are interested in discussing such things, I suggest we take the discussion off HN, because HN is not the right place. Please feel free to reach out to me through the contact details you can find if you follow the links in my profile.
