otherwise you risk condemning in words while the regime begins to control and censor your words as well, while you continue to condemn without doing anything, perhaps with a hint of disdain or is it perhaps too much? there are those who take the south china sea, and then declare the republic of taiwan separationist and threaten to invade it weekly, not afraid to show strength, for the simple "desire for reunification" when they have been more separated than united in the last 200 years, invades hong-kong, tramples rights where it controls and then appeals to rights to trample them where before it had no power, we must be careful not to confuse the right of all with the duty to defend the rights of all and the right to express yourself and act is not the same as the right to silence or block,

To me it doesn't matter what the government origin of the software is, regardless of how involved. I take a hard stance against unilateral banning of otherwise legal software. It's unfortunate that the appeal to emotion is so commonly trotted out to equate fear of government overreach with support for the bad emotion. The list of detestable government actions done under similar pretenses is quite long.
