I love how they insist that china is the terrible country that does nothing else, while in the west we have freedom.
Other issues aside, how does this get around the constitutional right to free speech? There must be some court ruling that lets speech affect the visa process.
Once they're here, it would be weighted against their rights and the public interests. Previously I would assume it would get shot down by SCOTUS, but it seems like a coin flip these days imho.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Seeing the American culture from Europe, it's obvious to me that "American freedom" is a meme. Not saying that Europe is perfect, but I'm happy to live on this side of the pond.
We're not as bad as USA in a lot of respects, but we're getting there.

> tomorrow you ban someone who criticized Israel and it's human rights violation. I think it's today, actually. They just want to censor any voice that would dare criticize Israel's abhorrent action. Pretending anyone who shows sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians supports Hamas is an old strategy. And to think they thought Trump was to be "the most peaceful president ever" or that he would "restore free speech…
Remember how he suddenly 'gave' Jerusalem to Israel, acknowledging it officially? That was a moment of desperation across whole sunni arab world, making it clear that palestinian cause is dead. Not saying whether I agree with any of this, just remembering few facts. He was too busy pleasing that murderous p.o.s. MBS and forcing them into 'peace agreement' with Israel at all costs, which as we all know lasted few mont…
This is one of the many initiates where the process and details matter. What’s the due process here, can people see the prompt that judges them to be supporters? Is AI just highlighting “supporting” content for human review? Even if you support the idea in principle, the actual practical implementation should be treated with skepticism.
Even if it is intended as a hint to human observers, during a big scandal in my country a few years ago turned out all the gov officials where blindly following the computer advise. Many where falsely accused of fraud by tax authorities, almost all where from ethnic minorities.

Well most of the west still does, its just that US is right now much bigger evil and bully to rest of the world than China is or ever was. Expect some realignment in next 4 years, maybe oil won't be yet traded in CNY but who knows.
Always has been. And part of the reason the US gets away with it (other than the threat of overwhelming nuclear-tipped military violence) is the effectiveness of Sinophobia and fear of the existential threat of "Communism" in manufacturing global consent for American imperialist hegemony.
The US can be toppling regimes and carpet-bombing weddings across the entire Western hemisphere, kidnapping people to CIA torture sites, spying on everyone and killing them over their metadata, and China can be doing nothing and Westerners will still be more afraid of China because "those insidious reds must be up to something."
