@pbsnews: Massive leak exposes how China’s ‘Great Firewall’ is being exported to other countries For years, China’s government has used what’s known as the “Great Firewall” to censor the internet inside its country and block access to select foreign websites. Now, a document leak shows that a little-known Chinese company is exporting these tools to other countries, including Myanmar, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Ethiopia. Ali Rogin speaks with WIRED senior writer Zeyi Yang to learn more. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #china #firewall #technology #news

It’s a good thing the United States doesn’t censor media that they don’t want their citizens to see 💀💀💀

This is foreshadowing a United States’ version. Soon we won’t know what is happening outside our borders without the government’s consent

Because of the firewall, China is still a fully independent country.

People acting like chinas firewall is comparable to whatever suppression you think the US does is hilarious. China will straight up make it impossible to see certain content. The US just has apps that people say “aren’t showing them the truth” aka “my algorithm is feeding me the slop I want it to”

This is nothing but nonsense. The U.S. Pentagon and military use similar software to manage inbound and outbound traffic—it’s simply a tool. Like a gun, it’s harmless by itself; what matters is who uses it. It’s a pity that some people are always quick to criticize anything that comes from China.

The US just takes down any site they don’t like worldwide. No other country can do that.

Blocking and destroying information is one thing humans do best and have been since we started recording knowledge.
