This is how modern censorship works: let people have some limited margin, some limited freedom of speech when they only talk to friends or to groups of 4-5 people. Monitor them though. Do not believe for one second that Blizzard does not handle all the chat logs to the CCP. Regular censorship must only happen when it matters: when millions are watching. This is when you strike hard and uncompromisingly. Shutting down Blizzard in China would be a punishment the CCP handles to its citizens, and a proof to the world that it is not ready to be part of the international culture. It comes with a cost as well. Dare them to do it. > I stood firm and maintained that CCP was now fighting with plutocracy > for changes to the culture in the west. I totally agree and this is a very strong red line to me. I reluctantly agree that it is best that each country does not meddle too much into the national policies of each other, but if China starts to push for universality of their values, we need to stop being shy at pushing back ours.
