They’ll rewrite any article that they feel is a threat to their power systems and therefore a threat to China. No surprise there. We have similar measures in the US - the government is willing to strip your rights if they feel you’re a threat.
There is nothing really all that new in what you’ve suggested. I would be surprised if those things didn’t happen.
- MrZongle2 8y ago> the government is willing to strip your rights if they feel you’re a threat. And most citizens won't make a peep about it if it's painted as "fighting (or preventing) terrorism". Case in point: the door-to-door searches in the wake of the Boston Marathon Bombing, which were a violation of the 4th Amendment.
- abc-xyz 8y agoI've never seen any major browser (or some other method) censor/rewrite an individual page that's protected by SSL before.. as far as I know then it's not possible, which is why they've had to resort to banning the entire website (which in GitHub's case would be too costly).. If you know about previous incidents then please do share. From today we know they are already able to do whatever they please (as long as they can get people to use their browser).. abuse other organizations reputation to spread lies and misinformation. If governments don't act then it won't be long until all these Huawei, Lenovo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, etc devices come with their browsers preinstalled (and likely default back to their browser to open links from other apps even if you tried to change the browser).
