I listen to the podcast 'Search Engine' published by the CBC in which they
look at how internet technology is influencing society. In their most recent
edition, they went to China to see how much freedom there was there and the
bottom line was that there was a huge degree of freedom granted to bloggers
and web site designers - they saw some examples of how the 'great firewall of
China' filtered web content etc. The host made the comment that the only
times that he felt the strong presence of police was when he took out a camera
in public - and added that he didn't think that it was much worse than what
one gets in New York City.
As we speak, the Chinese government is patrolling Everest basecamp, and
confiscating any and most media devices (cell phones, cameras, laptops, etc),
in
an effort to censor what the outside world sees and hears. They've shut down
the Tibetan and Chinese sides too.
