Japanese forums have been raided by Chinese trolls in the past. Now the Japanese just post a statement about Tienanmen square and poof, no more Chinese attendance, as the Great Firewall starts blocking...
Interesting times.
- anvandare 8y agoI wonder why the Chinese internet is still even connected to the Internet (other than for cyber-warfare).
- gooseus 8y agoWell, let's not forget that a significant percentage of the "decentralized" bitcoin mining network, operates out of China[0]. Currently BTC.COM[1] and AntPool[2] combined make up 42.5% of the network and both are both owned by Bitmain, a company headquartered in Beijing. ViaBTC[3] is also a Chinese mining company operating out of Shenzhen and has 10.1%. I'm not going to bother checking the rest since that's already 52.6% of the network controlled by 2 companies under 1 authoritarian regime.

- m-p-3 8y agoInteresting, I guess someone could use this to evict Chinese players from a game using that.
