block

It is so funny with the C0mM!e cEN$0R s H ! P. Internet check
(kinda), CNN and BBC (occasional blackouts in mid-stream on TV) and
whatever else. I laughed when I could not get any HK news on
podcasts, on yahoo or any HK news site. But I could pick up SCMP at
my hotel gym, sit there and read. Funny. Just have to give your head
a shake.

Also the so call "morale Internet police" check on sites making sure
the comments and all are not "morally disturbing". Well, I was
following an online news article on Sina.com about some gov't policy.
I noticed a little image next to this user about the article. The
comment was "Ding" in Chinese; that meant "outstanding". But a closer
look to the image, I was shocked! It was an X-rayed sexual act. The
image was clickable. So to see where it led to, I clicked the image.
Wow. Another side of Ch!n e $ e website I have not seen. Totally XXX
with all sorts of services available online or offline. Man.

So it does not matter how much you want to block, there is always a
way. Specially you use a simple crafted HTML code when submitting.
Very simple but effective. So block all you want, there are always a
way. Unless, of course, shut the entire net down, no website hosting,
and only hosting is done by the secret police department. Haha, that
will be major uproar.
