China shuts thousands of websites in clean-up campaign

"First they came for the porn websites, but I was not a porn watcher. Then they came for the gambling websites, but I was not an online gambler. Now they come for the online anime websites and there's no one left to keep their hands off." (Paraphrased)

China keeps the internet under tight control 

Now with the help of “don’t be evil” Google. Coming to a country near you.

From truth to fiction in a single sentence.

Maybe we should hire their cyber security or at least improve it. Our cyber defenses is terrible and we all know there are a lot of things that need to be purge on our websites. Tons of it. If these Chinese authority saw how large our 'illegal online activities' are, they would probably have a stroke.

Hey, the CCP only cares about staying in power. Everything that doesn't tow their single party propaganda (the gub'mint is always right in China...) will be assaulted. God they make me sick.

China would be so much better off without these single minded political elitists running their government. The people know this, they just don't say it as much in public, because overbearing government.

Here's a hint.

Russia's 80-90s is a good example how much better it would be...

Disagreeing with the Chinese govt will be physically painful at the least (police thugs) or lead to your death and incarceration for your family at the worst, and your kids will be "relocated" then trained in proper moral values based on what the govt thinks is correct. Oh, and they will be taught Mandarin! If they are lucky, the parents will only be sent to re-education camps. https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-life-like-in-xinjiang-reeducation-camps-china-2018-5

China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytising and even"spreading rumors".

Good thing they keep religion under control. Winnie the Pooh wouldn't like that. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-40627855

Google plans to help the Chinese Govt use internet searches as munitions. https://www.npr.org/2018/08/02/634827587/google-testing-a-censored-search-engine-just-for-china Internal Google discussions had to be forcefully (for google) ended by upper management and HR. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/21/google-asked-employees-to-delete-memo-about-china-search-plan-report.html They tracked who had been involved with specific communications, validated that those people saw the "you shall delete it" memo and have been tracking them to ensure this subject doesn't get revived on google systems.

Well, people are resourceful and can find alternative ways to do what they need or otherwise have to do.

Congratulations to the mainland Chinese government for encouraging the underground.

A few people in China are going to be burnt before this regime is finished.
