      I’ve seen people saying they don’t want to buy a Quest VR headset because Facebook supported the Uyghur genocide (reasonable) and then name PICO as an alternative despite it being owned by ByteDance which is tied to the Chinese government.

      Yeah, people don’t think. They just repeat the popular thing.

        Please cite a source. As far as I’ve heard, despite several investigations by Congress, there has never been any evidence that Byte dance has any ties to the Chinese government. The only premise they could come up with the try to separate TikTok was that they are a Chinese company and subject to the totalitarian rule of China’s government.

          China has it that the “the people” need to have ownership with any company above 300.

          “The people” meaning the the oppressive piece of shit CCP.

          Yeah that’s a tie to the Chinese government. Chinese company law mandates a representative on the board of every company with more than 300 employees. That political officer is the direct connection been the company and the party.
