Let's try to collate, combine and centralize any and all information we have on these slimebags, eventually leading to some OC and infographics we can dump on twitter, leddit and wherever whenever a product of their's is released, or just for general usage and redpilling.

Here's a start from anon in the gg thread:

Newest Tencent article on (((Wikipedia))).

The most interesting parts in it are Controversy paragraph and third text paragraph.

Controversy

Copying claims

>Many of Tencent's software and services are remarkably similar to those of competitors.

>The founder and chairman, Huateng "Pony Ma" Ma, famously said, "[To] copy is not evil." A former CEO and President of SINA.com, Wang Zhidong, said, "Pony Ma is a notorious king of copying."

>Jack Ma of Alibaba Group stated, "The problem with Tencent is the lack of innovation; all of their products are copies.

>As of 2009, the company held 400 patents.

Anti-malware software cheating allegations

>In 2015, security testing firms AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST and Virus Bulletin jointly decided to remove Tencent from their software whitelists.

>The Tencent products supplied for testing were found to contain optimizations that made the software appear less exploitable when benchmarked but actually provided greater scope for delivering exploits.

>Additionally, software settings were detrimental to end-users protection if used. Qihoo was later also accused of cheating, while Tencent was accused of actively gaming the anti-malware tests.

Criticism on King of Glory

>The People's Daily published two articles criticizing the Tencent owned game King of Glory, due to its purportedly addictive nature among Chinese youth.

>Share prices for Tencent drop dramatically by 5% on the days the articles were published.

Third text paragraph fragment

>On 20 November 2017, it became the first Asian company to cross the US$500 billion valuation mark, and has also surpassed Facebook to become the world's most valuable social media company, while joining the ranks of the top 5 biggest firms in the world alongside Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon.

Tencent promoting socialism

http://archive.is/0Zpbu

>Tencent to bring world's hottest video game (PUBG) to China, promises socialist values

>The move comes after China’s content regulator slammed the South Korean-made game, PUBG for short, last month for being too violent and said it would likely be blocked because it “severely deviates from socialist core values”.

>Tencent, which recently outstripped Facebook Inc in market value, said it had won the exclusive rights to the game in China, and that it would modify the game in order to meet the requirements of China’s regulators and censors.

>In its latest statement, the company said it would highlight the spirit of teamwork and fair competition from PUBG and ensure it delivers “healthy, positive cultural and value guidance, especially for underage users”.

We also should come up with a basic theme for whatever OC we have. Let's look at the basic gist of Tencent

>They are fucking HUGE as a company, their gaming branch is one of the biggest in the world and the company as a whole is the largest "investment holding company in the world"

>They have their fingers in every pie

>They are responsible for universally bad things entering video games

>They're involved in corruption and sketchiness

>They're coming for your video games and looking to grow more off you and your wallet

Censorship on Tencent's massive IM platform

http://archive.is/ITTY9

>While Chinese users would naturally expect that Tencent would have to submit to local censorship regulations, the fact that the service is also filtering global users is troubling. WeChat garnered a significant amount of buzz last year as it grew to almost 300 million users, and Tencent even acknowledged that it was seeing a surge in international users. However, the messaging app could encounter problems if international users become worried that their conversations will be monitored or censored.

Tencent trying to get people addicted to mobile shit on console markets (Nintendo Switch) to combine/consolidate audiences to maximize profits

http://archive.is/hsR2V

>‘Honor of Kings,’ the Red-Hot Mobile Game in China, Tries to Crack the U.S.

>The game, which allows teams of players to battle one another online, is so popular in China that Tencent earlier this year installed a curfew for young players after one state-run newspaper called it a “drug” and “poison.”

>To make ‘Honor of Kings’ more appealing to Western players, Tencent added Wonder Woman, Batman and other heroes from the DC Comics universe, and renamed it ‘Arena of Valor.’
