Why does China and some African countries block Google and Facebook in their country?
Are they smart for doing it?
Should more countries do it?

No, no.
>blocking NSA data collection fronts
they're geniuses for blocking 'em

They are saving their people from the botnet

>Why does China and some African countries block Google and Facebook in their country?
Because you're not allowed to know about things the government doesn't want you to in those countries.
>Are they smart for doing it?
They're corrupt, smart depends on who you're asking.
>Should more countries do it?
Google might be a bunch of kikes, but fuck no.

They don't want to be controlled by the globalists.
Smart move, IMO.
However, they just swapped one master for another. The chinks are totally controlled by WeChat. Don't let the name fool you, that app does EVERYTHING.

Would you let another country operate your local postal system?
It's roughly the same.

So everyone out side America should boycott American technology companies?
>>59123703
Did I say they weren't? The chinese government is also corrupt, and "tu quoque" isn't a valid argument anyways.

there should be some serious caveats on their use, which are obviously not going to happen given the NSA revelations.
'merica still thinks it owns the internet

Fucking round-eye son of a bitch posting this picture delete your fat american shit face.
Not many African countries actually ban facebook. https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2014/02/10-countries-facebook-banned/
It's mostly countries that aren't aligned with the US blocking facebook because they want their citizens to use social media that they have control over.

Retarded duplication of effort. They are making their smartest engineers that could be doing something new and innovative to duplicate something that has already been done other side of the world. We don't know what we have lost.
Imagine if the all those smart German engineers would have been put to do the same thing, duplicating what has already been done, maybe you wouldn't have those great German cars but had shitty German Google clone.
theyre smart for blocking facebook
google? no

Any smart country should do the same
I wish the EU blocked Facebook entirely.

china actively monitors its citizens through social media and rates their security and criminal levels based on their activity and people they know. China cant do this through american sites so it uses its own. Qq wechat renren tencent

Including money transfer.
It's like WhatsApp + FaceBook + Tinder + Banking in one app.

It's spelled "lose".
