    Lemmy users are just going to believe whatever they want to believe, instead of actually checking the facts.

    It’s 100% about privacy. Data collection, and algorithm manipulation to sway what users see in the interest of the Chinese government. If users think Russian interference is a problem, we’ll this amounts to the same thing.

      the Cinese government

      So it’s about foreign policy and not privacy. Or does the law somehow affect Facebook products too which are the same crap from an individual privacy perspective?

          And again, there are ways to at least attempt to address that other than just passing the ability to control the algorithm to another opaque company.
