- jhancock 18y agothey are in favor of the same things other country's peoples are in favor of blocking: porn, etc. trouble is once you have a "great firewall" in place, it gets used to block whatever is convenient with no oversight.
- phugoid 18y agoA number of articles I've read, but sorry I haven't recorded any specific links. I've also read about some very patriotic Chinese surfers that go around flaming anything that doesn't conform to the Party line. Same happens here in UAE. From several indicators like this, I have assumed there's quite a bit of similarity between the two situations. The two national cultures are very different, but they both actively punish those who publicly differs from central authority, they both try to censor all media.
