I'm talking to my very neoliberal friend and I'm basically praising China and saying I'd want to move there and she's all "But they censor all the internet!" and I'm honestly at a loss because I don't know enough about their internet situation to have any strong arguments. Is the internet heavily censored in China? Is using VPN not allowed? What's up with their whole internet vibe?
its very heavily censored, yeah. most people can use vpns.
this has some carry on issues with lgbt organizations and support groups, most are very local and in person, its a bit hard to set up sites and get approval
