There is a long standing tradition of using code to evade censorship in China, so that goes on. The trouble is the Chinese government has created the world's most sophisticated censorship machine.

Filtering technologies, and the way that they are implemented, are becoming more sophisticated.

Intruders are now in your house without your permission. They entered through your computer to bombard you with sneaky pop-ups and install tracking software to spy on your every move and steal your most personal information.

There is no question that the Chinese government is far and away the most adept of any state at blocking access to sensitive political content online,

I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print.

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.
