The irony of westerners accusing china of propaganda will never be lost on me.

maybe democracy isn't so great after all ...
> That's not the reason

humour me then

and who exactly are we to dictate what a 5000 years old country and civilisation gets to do when we literally fund the mass murder of an entire group of people because it's "God's Promise" ?
Lovely little product !

I wanted to ask how you handle language autodetection for snippets.

Fun fact: I got my current job in part thanks to overleaf. I used it to write down my CV. It's so much more useful than Ms Word or Google Docs.
Ironically, the internet and the free access to information that comes with it have essentially removed the veil.
Please make that demonstration then.

> Social media is extremely anti-Israel and now everyone knows it

People generally don't hold ethnic cleansing in high esteem.

It's the sweetness of truth, I apologise. Some people like their coffee without sugar.

Because you see, It's totally ok when we do it. But GOD Forbid others engage in the same behaviour.

The opposite is absolutely true.

Try and question "America's greatest ally ever" and their policies and see how long you last on these platforms.

When critiquing china, remember that you're essentially looking in the mirror.

I'm not from the CCP ... or am I ?

It's always hilarious to watch westerners hate on the so called monsters of this world and not realising they're looking straight at the mirror.

> Like VPN can be good enough when what you’re up against is stupid lazy bureaucrat cop types.

This echoes my experience in Africa too. Ironically, governments in the so-called "unfree" countries don't have nearly as much control or access to personal data as the "free" modern western ruling classes would have you believe.

It's pretty easy to game the system and evade surveillance altogether, especially considering that most people are in on it :)

The same question should apply to the increasing number of western dissidents.
Personally I use AWS Workspaces for this, especially if your site's DNS is hosted on Route53. Everything is taken care of automatically. It's been a breeze so far.

If you're in Europe, just get one of those pre-paid free SIM cards (you don't even have to top up nor activate the card using KYC). You simply have to text a number they give you and you will get an active phone no for 14 days.

I've used this countless times to activate google products and other such privacy invading services.
