Do the majority of people living in China know about / care about censorship? Curious if information was being censored how you'd even know.

- sneak 7y agoAlso: how much of that opinion is an actually informed one, versus an opinion shaped by censorship itself?
- ethbro 7y agoThat was the moral of The Man in the High Castle when it was written -- that every totalitarian state's wet dream is that a new generation can be enculturated to not believe alternatives are possible.
- Aperocky 7y agoOf course. It's condescending to think otherwise, you can't pretend youtube or twitter doesn't exist (especially with a substantial portion who use VPN to evade censorship anyways), it's just accepted as a fact of life.
- awb 7y ago> It's condescending to think otherwise Really? China's a huge country with huge differences in income and education. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are some people who aren't aware of the censorship or others even outside of the government that feel like it's a good policy. Mainly curious how small that population is.
