Past couple of days it seems to me like China has been ramping up their influence on a bunch of things. Shit is getting crazy, like they're going for full control.

Does China have substantial control over twitter? I'd be interested in more info if you have any

Took a quick look at it and didn't found anything relevant. Would have to take a better look.

...but lets remember it's the platform where encouraging people violence against minors is apparently ok as long as they're on the wrong side of politics but hurting people's fee fees not ok.

It's probably more indirect. The same thing with movie studios censoring content in order to push it to Chinese markets or google creating a different search engine/algorithm for those in China.

These companies want access to eyeballs, advertising, and user/data aggregation. When a govt says you need to play by these XX rules, shitty companies that don't care about anything their users comply with it, or worse yet, look at it as their "duty" to bring their product to "the people".

I figure it will slowly build to a boil until July or even August when the shit really gets turned up.
