@FMoney2020@sanson_ganbaru Please don't mix up the infamously sensationalist british media with all of Europe. Imagine equating korean or chinese media with all of east asia. I suspect this mix up happens because british media is in english while for example croatian opinions are behind a language barrier
@unicornsftw@Lytherian My great grandmother recently died. She drove to school on the back of the neighbours horse drawn carriage transporting hey. Her sister married the first guy in town to own a car. Now she died around the time AI became publicly available. The last 100 years were crazy
@Ezra_EX@NegationF@ProjectLiberal The PRC is as much dynastic china as Italy is the roman empire. It's part of chinese history yes, but the continuity is broken. Mao (and the ROC before) dismantled that system deliberately
@Ezra_EX@NegationF@ProjectLiberal The concept of china as a continuous entity was built on successive dynasties, regardless who ruled. That's the justification for retrospectively naming ancient xia the first chinese dynasty. That ended with the Qing. The ROC & PRC were a clear break with that, openly so.
@JoseonOne@hgnt2025@tilde_posting@ChrisssLeee@ProjectLiberal Exactly. And they specifically set out to humiliate han people by forcing Han men to shave their foreheads and braid their remaining hair into a queue as a sign of submission, executing those who refused.
@Togaku_2@Bucko42687014@nabe1975 The original post was made in english, so clearly targeted to a western audience. Portugal did discover Japan for the west. Meanwhile a Japanese post could call the first japanese to find a portugese sailor "the man who discovered the portugese people"
@pokopokotyuu@nabe1975 I don't think it was a religious issue. The Ottoman Empire was blocking europe from accessing trade to Asia, so portugal tried to go around africa by ship. Then Columbus thought you can access india by going west, around the world. That's why he initially thought Cuba was Japan
@kato989kato@nabe1975 Japanese can't discover themselves. You can discover a missing child, but the child can't discover itself. So by necessity it takes people without knowledge of Japan to discover it. Equally the first japanese person to meet a Portuguese, discovered the portugese for japan
@nabe1975 Discovery is often subjective. You can discover a great restaurant and tell your friends about it, that makes you the one who discovered it in your social circle. But the restaurant can't discover itself. Japan can't discover itself, but people who had no knowledge of it can
@AbrisGains@levelsio it's not micro regulations. It's just google automatically siding with businesses without doing manual review of the complaint. If the restaurant actually went to the courts they'd lose the case in a heartbeat
@politicianskid@jmkettle I once used a 5 second clip from someone's video in my video and Youtube took it down because they received a copyright claim. Fair use and freedom of speech are illegal in the US
@jmkettle In short some restaurants game googles auto-removal of reviews. Very similar to how some people use false copyright claims to take down videos they don't like from YT
@jmkettle No it's not. There are no precedents in german law, everything is case by case, so the restaurant COULD maybe try to sue the reviewer (but probably won't win). Google doesn't want to get involved in all that and simply removes them without manual review
