internet - Nonsense online by the IHT

I sometimes hope that when you just ignore nonsense, it might so away by itself. The International Herald Tribune proved today I was wrong by republishing an older article that is riddled with mistakes and misconceptions about the way the internet in censored in China.
The introduction of the "state-of-the-art" technology to censor the internet has already proven in the first months of its existence, now two years ago, that technology cannot stop change. The article later admits that and is in that way expressing rather conflicting ways of thinking. Can technology stop developments through the internet? No. It is therefore not very sophisticated as the article wrongly claims: it is brutal, non-consistent and does not work.
Proxy servers have no problem in surviving, in contradiction to what the article claims. Last Saturday we demonstrated at the BloggerCon Shanghai meeting some proxies I'm using already for months. Control at the internet cafe's is a joke, to put it midly. Youngster routinely take the ID cards of their parents to avoid control, the Shanghai Daily explained today.
The aspirations of the Chinese internet users might not live up to the expectations of journalists. They do not want to become dissidents. They want to play games.
