Lo Shih-hung, a professor at the National Chung Cheng University’s Department of Communication in Taiwan: “For Facebook to get into the market, it might require them to make comprises ranging from setting up a local operation to sharing user data.” (Sharing user data, read that as giving out private and personal details of people using FB to speak out against china, to better facilitate china rounding up these people in their prisons.) Zuckerberg told Lu he gives Xi’s book to colleagues “to let them know the characteristics of Chinese socialism,” according to the report. (Yeah, anyone can tell you deliberately put it there for show, it also tells us that you will do anything, no matter how cheap or lowly, to get into chinas market. I bet stifling freedom of speech and freedom of information and the right to know wouldnt be much of concern to Zuckerberg.) “If you are hurting China’s interests, China’s security or you are hurting the interests of Chinese consumers, we won’t allow this to exist,” Lu said at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin in September without mentioning Facebook by name. (By hurting, it means spreading the truth about china, the ideals of freedom and democracy, that might threaten the stability of the ccps totalitarian rule, enlighten the people that might rise up in protest and thus will hurt themselves when the ccp suppresses them, and that means FB must control the flow of information and expression so that undesired elements will not leak into china and poison peoples minds. china can control it on their end, but how to prevent FB users from saying things and sharing things that might find its way into china? FB will have to show its willing to censor certain things and banning certain people from using FB.) ————————————————— Zuckerberg goes from learning putonghua, marrying a chinese wife, to showing a book by Xi jin ping to the chinese internet security chief that just happened to be on zuckerbergs desk, it shows hes willing to kowtow all the way to make that china buck. Hong Kong democracy and independence activists rely heavily on FB to spread the word, such kowtowing is really worrying for Hong Kongers that our last free major forum of discussion, and our contact with the outside world, maybe disappearing.
