Get serious. It's only talks, no actions will follow. Money are more important.

This is a completely backwards way of looking at it. If you don't have the budget, create a static website and throw it behind github pages or s3 or whatever. An entire university with a school of computer science cannot figure out some standard way of doing this ?
This publication is independent and not run by the school.
Right, but surely they have resources at the school if they need technical assistance. It's a university. Just find any CS major and they'll tell you how to set up a website.

It's also elsewhere, e.g. on reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/rh81c0/mitch_letter... I am surprised it's blocked in the EU. My first guess is that this student newspaper doesn't have a lot of technical folks on staff and didn't see much point in investing in being Europe-friendly. Their hosting site, https://townnews.com/ , doesn't look super legit at a glance but perhaps someone else knows more.
Being GDPR-friendly is easy.
Right, block access and carry on with your day.

We have the same problem in the US. Certain "Freedom loving" sects applaud military intervention, increased police presence, spying on citizens, and the death of any protester, peaceful or otherwise.
That seems like a very, very, broad brush.
Sadly not - remember, the US with the UK's complicity is going to let Julian Assange rot in prison probably for the rest of his life. For engaging in an act of journalism which in all likelihood ended the Iraq war, or at least made a substantial contribution to doing so.

#115The scale of some Chinese people's commitment to support of their government's chosen narrative against facts is quite impressive / scary. Zealots make great cannon fodder, and the more cannon fodder the higher the chance of winning. It bodes poorly for Hong Kong, Taiwan, and any other country with a coastline along the South China Sea.
I used to think but the last few years in the US taught me that people everywhere have the same capacity for zealotry, they may have to be reached/triggered differently that’s all.

#116So, the other students that trailed the speaker with accusations and harassment on the university’s property will face consequences for their actions to discourage this from recurring, right? Didn’t see that part in the article.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ~ George Orwell, 1984
Whenever you think that you’re on the outside looking in, seeing the world for what it is while others seem blind, you should reconsider your perspective. The Chinese people is not some herd of sheep without mental faculties. I wince when I see quotes like these spoken about a people of literal billions.
You do not know how easy it is to control mass populations. Open a history book

#119This happens in Canadian universities as well, Tibetan or Chinese students are harrased. Doesn't look like anything is done to prevent it.

Have you read 1984? Neither are the Party members. (And also, the quote doesn't mention the people.)
