Just move to China then! If you really wanted to cut the cord and get that project done then you could rent a room in some Chinese town and stay there for however long is needed. I imagine rent would be cheap and you could AirBnB out your home to get all the bills paid. For the duration you will have the Great Firewall of China stopping that casual browsing of Western social media sites. Would reading Facebook be worth going to prison for? Nope. Problem solved. But I am not seeing these people that want to break free from social media doing the obvious thing of moving to a country where the populace are spared such things. Clearly North Korea is a bit 'far', but China is fine to live and work in as a Westerner and you could just go there if social media was 'ruining your life' and you were addicted to it. But nobody is cutting the cord that extreme, are they?
