More Posts need the politics flag

[contacos]

Why aren't posts like these flagged as politics? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-glass-supplier-corning-faces-eu-antitrust-probe.2442125/ Honestly. It almost seems like a trap / test to see how many people can get a warning and eventually banned. I don't get it.

Like how can you talk about something the EU wants to do without entering political territory?

That's fair...we're not as consistent as we probably should be on EU/antitrust topics.

I've moved that thread over there and we'll try to be more consistent on future stories.

Either shutdown comments or tag the thread "political news". I don't think you can discuss the complexities of AI implementation in country X without discussing the government imposed "restrictive security, privacy, and content obligations, which demands that any public AI technology obtains regulatory approval" in country X.

This is what I call bait and suspend.

The article was mostly about the technical issues of working with Baidu, but fine, we've moved it.

Thank you!

From your own article:

"Apple Intelligence is not available in China due to the country's restrictive security, privacy, and content obligations, which demands that any public AI technology obtains regulatory approval."
I'd say this is at least half of what the article is about which is why I requested move to "political news".

Other than that, if you don't think "technical issues of working with Baidu" are not directly caused by the Chinese government I have a bridge to sell you, on the cheap! 😉

I really don't see the point in having any article about a Chinese company not tagged Political News as they one with the Chinese government.

Everything is political.
Trying to constrain discussion is nonsensical.
