[QUOTE=sam6420;42139586]Or.. You know.. Nothing like that at all? This is targeted to companies who are exploiting social media. I'm so tired of the "freedom of speech blah blah" bullshit. If I convinced a whole bunch of people in your city you were a kiddy fiddler through twitter, would you be like "fair game brother freedom of speech."[/QUOTE] what is suing for defamation? Sure, it's targeting black PR companies, but it's such an easily exploitable law I'm fairly sure it's meant to be exploited and get people fucked for expressing their thoughts online.

[QUOTE=J!NX;42141670]Stupid Shit Facepunch Says[/QUOTE] it wasn't facepunch who said that, it was that jailed league of legends player. I'm never heading to china, they becoming more... power abusers then anything else.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;42135648]depends on what they're saying[/QUOTE] Just saying something on the internet should not get someone arrested. It should be used as a reason to investigate someone at most.

I wonder if this has anything to do with this: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1306415[/url] being put on facebook and other chinese social medias?

Nobody bothers to crosscheck anything, and they end up giving the companies horrible reputations.[/QUOTE] They're using those black PR firms as an excuse to make a completely unfair law, instead of illegalizing the actual industry they do this round about law that can be applied to anyone, and as this is china, it WILL be used on anyone
Because in America, we can say anything without any repercussions, right? But seriously, they should be able to criticize as they please without fearing the government.
