For those unfamiliar:

The 50 Cent Party, also known as the 50 Cent Army or wumao, are Internet commentators who are paid by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to spread the propaganda of the governing Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The program was created during the early phases of the Internet's rollout to the wider public in China.

I never brought up the US. You're using them as a deflection from the topic at hand.

All I did was refute your claim that "China operates on the principle of peace. Not constant war." That claim is easily debunked. Why spread lies?

It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽

*Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world's new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.

*Edit: deleted duplicate post

Starting Thursday, Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky deleted its anti-malware software from customers' computers across the United States and automatically replaced it with UltraAV's antivirus solution.

This comes after Kaspersky decided to shut down its U.S. operations and lay off U.S.-based employees in response to the U.S. government adding Kaspersky to the Entity List, a catalog of "foreign individuals, companies, and organizations deemed a national security concern" in June.

On June 20, the Biden administration also announced a ban on sales and software updates for Kaspersky antivirus software in the United States starting September 29, 2024, over potential national security risks.

Modern AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, and it looks like they will get even more power-hungry in the coming years as companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI strive towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). Oracle has already outlined plans to use nuclear power plants for its 1-gigawatt datacenters. It looks like Microsoft plans to do the same as it just inked a deal to restart a nuclear power plant to feed its data centers, reports Bloomberg.

A number of high-profile, conservative influencers in the US have said they are “victims” of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign, after the Biden administration accused Moscow of carrying out a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of November’s presidential elections.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson published statements on Wednesday evening addressing allegations that a US content creation company they were associated with had been provided with nearly $10m from Russian state media employees to publish videos with messages in favour of Moscow’s interests and agenda, including over the war in Ukraine.
