Blog Censorship Is Back Again In China
Very comprehensive study on Chinese Blog Censorship operated by Chinese Blog-Hosting companies themselves, found on Reflexion On A Chinese Eye.
Among the several conclusions, this has drawn my attention:
- Internet Filtering (“the great Firewall”) is only one part of Chinese Internet censorship
- Domestic web censorship is not centralized at all
- Domestic web censorship is outsourced by government to the private sector
- Domestic web censorship is inconsistent – if you can’t post successfully in one place, it’s usually possible to post your content somewhere else, at least for at least a while
- The system of “managing” user-generated web content in China appears to follow a similar logic and approach as the system for controlling professional news media
You don’t need to be an activist to be willing to freely navigate the Web… Here is a handy workaround I wrote previously to acces any website from China Mainland.
