Blizz, Hong Kong, Freedom of speech, lets have an Adult discussion

Im referencing him as a meme you doorknob lol

I didn’t see them doing anything wrong. I did not go through all their history and all your history but if they were harassing you should have stopped responding and reported them.

I did see you constantly targetting them and ridiculing the number of posts they made in a thread. That has NOTHING to do with the topic. If their responses to you had nothing to do with the topic then yes they were in the wrong as well.

In any case, I am going to take my own advise and not respond.

The reason why it would look like targeting is because I was replying to notifications that popped up. It just so happens those notifications were always from the same person. I did not initiate a single conversation with that person. I only responded to notifications.

Highlighting their number of posts in that thread was also a response to them telling me that I was “angry flailing posts,” which would also not have anything to do with the topic but since the amount of posts were brought up my reply was relevant to that comment. Again, a response. Which is why I’m confused how you single me out but not them when they initiated everything.

Anyway, doesn’t matter.

Wow you’re so courageous

This terminology is what I call a backdoor; the interpretation and definitions are intentionally vague, murky, and broad so it can be fitted and molded to fit many situations. The same applies to the flimsy statement issued by Blizzard explaining Blitzchung’s ban.

interesting.

Eww, Vox…

watch it though. interesting info speckled through out. read between the lines.

I tend to refrain from calling Vox anything other than a group pushing a political agenda. Luckily I’m not on YouTube where I have to then over-defend the actual people “beautiful and brave” like that terrible human being Carlos Maza.

well synapsis then: the gov owns most of the land, thus forcing people into smaller and smaller homes as the population grows. should watch it.

Maybe if I can find a cross reference. Do I have a bias against Vox? Absolutely. Not to say they are ALWAYS wrong, but I just don’t trust them.

Singapore-based news network? Trying to Google the group.

well lets put it this way: only 3.5% of the land is used for housing haha. that means the gov owns the other 96.5%. sounds as if the hong kong gov is already being run by prc

Indeed. Thank you for the cross reference. I tend to never trust the word of a single outlet, so I look for multiple sources.

Sure, but they need to uphold the law. Big-tech companies have been fined big-time for their practices of censorship and more fines are coming and many companies are still under investigation.

I’m not sure where you’re from but you see, Blizzard is located in California and California is located in the United States and in the United States we have laws.

Why do you think U.S. goverment officials and news are talking about this? I’ll give you a hint, because it matters even if you don’t think it doesn’t.

I see more people arguing “Your free speech arguments are bad!” than people ACTUALLY arguing that Blizzard violated “Free Speech”.

It’s a dead meme at this point.

Of course. They don’t need to honor free speech but doing business in a society that values that concept will obviously have backlash. Some of that backlash will inevitably come from people unaware the company isn’t beholden to it, some will come from people who are aware but view it as an attack on their values.

Regardless, all of the backlash is pretty much valid because that’s the price of business in a society with those values.

us companies should uphold us values, period.

that is what china and russia demand of their companies.

the only difference is that there are no repercussions to us companies for not upholding american values
