I can't "prove" anything. However, a whole bunch of people coming into here to tell me how I'm wrong and it has to be racism from a certain two instances is a little hypocritical. They weren't in this thread much until this, and they all flood in to tell me that I'm wrong, without any reason except "it just is racist."
No, the end result is not the same. People recognizing that all of these institutions are doing the same thing allows us to solve issues. However, some of the people here think that the institutions they like, for whatever reason, aren't doing this. They come here to defend China or attack the US, but China has a firewall and generally has their own exclusive ecosystem. What's different with the US forcing one app to be western owned? Is China doing it because of racism? No. That's pretty naive. Thinking this can only lead to outrage at some people and can't solve the actual issues because the wrong issues are being addressed.
Dude, I was here on my home instance and dozens of people show up to tell me I'm wrong from two other instances. I'm putting in too much energy? Why is it never you guys putting in too much energy, or you guys being the "debate bros". You came at me.
