Masterfade Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 what Huh? Internet censorship in countries like China and Iran can easily be bypassed with VPN (Virtual Private Network) services which often cost less than $15 per month or even free (with Ads, of course). There are a number of American, Aussie and maybe Kiwi businesses specializing providing VPN to foreign individuals. They and their employees all earn a living from Internet censorship, same for IT persons on the ground in China or Iran who help users setting up the network and payment subscriptions. Really I see no harm done by Internet censorship in China, Iran or anywhere. Its like a government ran welfare for thousands of formerly jobless youth now employed as human monitors, plus a scholarship fund for IT students know their trade good enough to set up VPN for others.

So your saying I will have a bouncing teenage cyberweasel following me around? I have a better idea for your future gulag of inter-wabbing - they can freaking build infrastructure in the third world.
