In other countries people generally can use VPN or otherwise bypass blocks, and usually can't be prosecuted for this per se. But that requires at least some aptitude and knowledge and will, and most people just don't. Media that rely on advertising just can't afford to lose 80-90% of audience, even if the determined 10% will access them no matter what. | |

That way if the government doesn't like you they can always find a "legal" reason to bring the hammer down. Particularly useful for anti corruption campaigns in countries where low level corruption is a feature of daily life! | |

| Jun 22, 2021 at 15:04 | comment | added | TKoL | @Martheen I think they actually meant the reporting national -- the person who filed the complaint. I think what Thomas is saying is that by reporting this content, you're admitting you have access to that content, and the only way to have access to it is to try to bypass the chinese firewalls, and that's punishable. | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 8:53 | comment | added | Martheen | "The reporting national", do you mean the reported national instead? Because otherwise, I don't see why people would report it (or do social credit score worth the fine?) | |
