News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

have you ever wondered why China blocks all apps from other countries ?
I think this is a good move. With China banning apps from other countries, its right for India to do. We should be doing the same thing in the US
They will come right back to Facebook in some months. No one ever remembers these things.
Dude, you need to think first. Handing over data to CCP ? thats genocide.
no, its not racism. Almost all independent American company is banned in China. Thats racism. Google, FB..etc..etc.
Very true.
This is not right. As a responsible company, they should know better. Regarding China, they have always been sidestepping the main question. They knew from the start that CCP will be intercepting calls. As an american company, this is a blatant disregard for people's trust. and its not an american thing to do. If you had friends or family who are routinely subdued in China, you will know what I am saying.
Has anyone noticed, if you mention chinese, you actively get your point decreased by one point.
Correct, these guys want to have the cake and eat it too. If they don't like Facebook, they should just leave. They want the money. Its too attractive to them.
There are more than 1.5 billion users on Facebook. If they are not worried, and want to be misused, why the hell are others so hell bent on bringing down Facebook lol.

If the users really cared, we wouldn't be having this talk.

Also this is the media wanting to bring down the enemy.

I think this is normal. Every business goes through ups and downs.
how many times will someone say the same thing ? Isn't this old news ?

Made money, now is the ideal time to quit :-) Similar to the google engineers who quit after working for 10 to 15 years.

Think twice before using Zoom. They have a lot of engineers in China developing the core technology. You would be foolish to conduct meetings and share sensitive docs over zoom. Communist party is listening to everything.

It's not about China. It could have happened anywhere in the world. It's about any authoritarian or communist regimes. It's about hiding the information from surfacing. More people should be speaking out about such regimes.

Makes perfect sense. Thats when you know you need to short the stock in the LONG RUN. Because all they know is taking orders from someone and running it. This is the same with all companies. If Mark Zuckerberg steps down from Facebook, you can pretty much know, it's going to go down.

He has made enough money to retire. For engineers still looking for work, GOOGLE is the best place to work. If you don't want to work at google, don't work there. Why do people keep blaming the company. This is not a dictatorship.
