Isn't it the contrary. If Internet would be practically unavailable in China except for domestic resources, due to every single server using TLS for absolutely anything — would Great Firewall survive?
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoThe Great Firewall only applies to traffic coming in and out of China. Domestic Internet surveillance and filtering is handled by Golden Shield. If all Chinese domestic traffic used TLS, nothing would change. The PRC Government can still knock on the door if your company is causing trouble.
- wodenokoto 11y agoYes, it would and is. Remember that all major webservices that take up most of peoples online time in the US and Europe is already banned in China. There is no Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Google, Youtube, twitter, snapchat, Whatsapp working at all or reliably within the firewall. The quality of the content inside the firewall is good enough for the majority of the population not to care the least about what is happening on the web outside the firewall. The good viral videos and memes get translated and spread on local services, and plenty are already created within.
