How are these illegal sanctions?
By violating international law:
https://www.isjq.ir/article_145298.html?lang=en
According to Articles 1 (2), 2 (1) and 74 of the UN Charter, the imposition of unilateral sanctions violates the principles of the Charter, the principle of equality of states, the development of friendly relations and good neighborliness, and consideration of each other’s interests and well-being.

“free speech” like prosecuting people for supporting Palestine, right?
Daily reminder that when liberals say “freedom” they mean “of markets”
How long has China been adopting the UN charter?
This is news to me. I guess we can all forget about the nine-dash line from today.
The UN Charter is the foundational document that the UN is built on. UNCLOS is a convention (one that, for what it’s worth, the US never ratified). The PCA is a non-UN body that’s sometimes used as an arbitration mechanism between two parties to avoid conflict.
Do you have any grasp on international law, or do you just enjoy whataboutism?
Doesn’t answer the question. When has China accepted UN charters?
sigh
don’t engage with idiots, don’t engage with idiots, don’t engage with idiots…
I’d recommend you read a tiny bit into UN history and what the UN Charter actually is.
Look at OP’s post history. It’s pretty clear they’re a tankie.

Yep, fascist. That’s a nazi meme.
Lemmy is quickly becoming a front for Russian disinformation and agitation. Are people not seeing this?
3/4 the posts on my front page are attacks on the US in one form or another. The tone has completely shifted in the last month.
No, they’ve been here from well before the Reddit migration. It was just that the activity from Reddit migrants had died down and now you’re seeing more of what Lemmy was beforehand.
Ah. It’s a bummer.
I’m ok with criticism of the US, but this just seems like a targeted stream of anti western crap.
It’s sad that the internet is getting trashed by state actors for their own gain, and unfortunate for those who take it all at face value.
You think state actors are targeting lemmy? That seems like an incredibly bad investment. Do you think the troll farms boss would be happy with me posting on here instead of facebook or twitter?
It’s actually far more likely that your opinion (including this hot take right here) has been formed by many an organization or rich dude throwing money at promoting their views in both traditional media and social media. Of course this place here seems out of place to you, you’re the one that has taken the propaganda at face value.
What’s a more likely target for state actors:
A small federated social media platform with a limited audience and that, by design, decentralizes control
OR
Reddit, which literally has Atlantic Council members deciding content moderation policy
It’s not anyone else’s fault that the US has been taking L after L recently internationally.
Yes this is what the world looks like when you don’t have nazis and the state department censoring stuff they don’t like. You’ll get used to it.
Uh huh. Riiight.
I’ve been on the internet for 30 years, including BBSes and IRC, so I actually have a pretty good idea what it looked like before censorship.
This is bullshit propaganda and if you’re swallowing it all, I’m sorry.
Censorship is when people can say the n word
Honestly this is just xenophobia.
