Re: Question about great firewall of China
As you may have heard, Bell Canada has gathered a group called Fairplay Canada to force all ISPs in Canada to block web sites

Hi, even in China it is not possible to block content from people proactively want to reach it (VPN, TOR, etc). So terrorists, child pornographers, drug dealer, copyright violators and other s*it are in safe. Only can really do the Internel Censorship is to decrease of circle of spreading information. It will not reach 100%, but reach say 5% of initial expected auditory. This system can ONLY be used to change MASS MIND of people, i.e. POLITICAL CENSORSHIP. Don't believe bastards say they protect you by censorship. ONLY can they really do with this system (not now of course, a bit later - look for history of raising Russian censorship system for example) - is to influence of the mass mind, i.e. results of elections. NOTHING ELSE. 24.03.18 01:34, Scott Weeks пише:
