Whataboutism? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with the linked article, there has been a lot of, say, 'not too positive' reports about Trump's social network.
Some of them are children
Thanks for this comment. I really didn't think of this.
I guess if you are surrounded only by yes-sayers for too long, something like that may happen.
Zhang Zhan is a role model for a person who is standing up. As some others have already written in their comments, it's a similar situation in China as it is in Russia, Iran, North Korea (or Nazi-Germany 90 years ago, if you seek an example in history).
Those Chinese who threaten their peers should be legally prosecuted and then sent back to China. If they don't value freedom of expression and human rights, they have nothing to do here in Europe. This is unacceptable.
Seems to be aligned with the EU's new policy to abandon Open Source Software.
Other news comes from a user on Wikimedia:
Couldn't Wikimedia take the lead when it comes to social media decentralization
I just noticed that the Wikimedia Foundation profile on Mastodon is very inactive compared to X profile. Taking into account a recent example, where more than 20 million users had to flee from X due to its criminal practices, wouldn't it make sense and be used as an opportunity to reach the audience that is migrating to the Fediverse?
The Wikimedia Foundation seems to be aligned with some core ideas related to decentralization (e.g. chapters and user groups), not to mention its long-standing voice in the open source world and against disinformation, which seems to be an important goal o X and its owner?
Wenn wir wissen wollen, ob Handynutzung in der Schule gut oder schlecht ist, dann sollten wir vielleicht einfach die im Silicon Valley fragen. Da kommt ein grosser Teil der Software ja her. Dazu eine Nachricht aus 2015, aber immer noch aktuell (und aufschlussreich?):

Parents working in Silicon Valley are sending their children to a school where there’s not a computer in sight – and they’re not alone

I added the link also in the body.
That's what I thought, too. Just shutting down won't be enough, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. They should be regulated, and there must be a human being who can held accountable for what they do (very much as it is the case with 'conventional' media, and forcing them to make their code Open Source could be some measures).
We should definitely fight the root cause, but we should take away the gun of the shooter and rethink the gun policy, too.
I don't know the reason for the prompt in this particular case, of course, but there is a persistent form of racism in China, namely the prejudice that the Han Chinese are more advanced than other cultures inside and outside of China. Some experts say this view is even promoted by the government's propaganda.
There is also a good video by a foreigner living in China (19 min): CHINA: RACISM: China’s Ugly, Disturbing yet Open Secret
Last year, Human Rights Watch urged the Chinese government to combat anti-black racism on Chinese social media.
