I think this could be an Western biased view. Why do you believe that
Chinese users will be receptive to those kinds of messages? My limited
experience suggests that, in general, they won't be.
In that case Mozilla should do nothing. What you said is not an
argument for fighting fire with fire.
Is this addressed to me? I did not make and do not claim any such
argument or prescription.
You argued that Chris' point is coming from a western point of view
and won't work on Chinese users, and I suggested that if that's true,
then we should have done nothing.
I made no other argument than calling Chris' approach naive. If you'd
like to engage me in a discussion of what options there are besides "do
nothing" and "fight fire with fire" we can do that, but if you'll
re-read what I wrote, you'll see that I carefully stayed away from
prescriptions because that wasn't the point I thought most important.
My post was intended to point out that the strategies we employ in the
West naively applied to China probably won't work - and nothing more.
OK, thanks for the clarification, that's a fair point.
But I also have to say that as a non-westerner myself I often have a
very hard time understanding these types of western/non-western
distinctions, but that discussion can probably happen elsewhere.
Cheers,
Ehsan
