> Americans can easily use services hosted outside the US. Chinese users cannot easily use services hosted outside China.
Services hosted outside the US by companies with presence in the US fall under Patriot Act which means US can spy on them any time without warrant, but ianal.
Even if the company has no presence in the US, there are only a handful of countries that would not bend over to hand data to US. That's why US doesn't need to block access to anything while China has to.
> Ok but you're still ignoring the basic fact that activists and even criminals in liberal democracies have legal and human rights.
Such as moving those criminals and activists to Guantánamo Bay? Oh, Obama trolled to shut it down almost a decade ago after acknowledging its wide spread human right violations, why it is still in operation in the same shape and form? You are free to troll whatever you like, that is not going to change the fact that Guantánamo Bay is still being used for violating basic human rights.
liberal democracies? think about Guantánamo Bay.
Please stop spread your highly misleading non-sense. Let's don't even go down the paths of those weekly mass shootings in the US, when the constitution is basically denying their rights to live and the far right elements are calling for teachers to be armed on campus, what you can expect?
Also, US inmate population is far larger than China's one, even though the former population is much smaller. For this, American citizens can either believe their government is abusing human rights, or that Americans in general are more inclined to commit crimes. Which one is it?
