It seems the information flows to certain populations. I work for an US based company with an office in mainland China. Pretty much everyone in the office knows about the stuff happening in Hong Kong.
- amiga_500 7y agoDoes the satellite office proxy web traffic via the HQ?
- yibg 7y agoNot proxied via HQ but there is a VPN of course for things like github, Gmail etc. but point is people are at least to some level consuming the info that is available and not sticking to only mainland based sources. I would imagine certain portions of the population have greater access than most.
- coupdejarnac 7y agoIs the internet at your office filtered? I've heard of offices for foreign companies being unfiltered, but I haven't seen it firsthand.
- nroets 7y agoI was in mainland China recently. Many tech and manufacturing companies realise they need Facebook and Google to communicate with their customers. So their employees routinely use VPN, even though it's technically illegal.
- azinman2 7y agoWhat’s probably more important is where is the information being published and in what language. If something important is happening, but it’s not in the NYTimes or HN AND in English, I’m likely to miss it.
