Fourthly, no matter how cleverly
you install an app on whatever device, in the end it will send data
across the Internet for communication which is filtered and monitored
for keywords like any other traffic. Finally, think low-tech - from
what I read, criminals (who also want to remain undetected, just like
dissidents) use simple emails, chat rooms and IRC channels, mixed
with encryption, typically from Internet cafes, so that's for the
dissidents, too.
But you're still reasoning as all smartphones were like iPhone, where
everything is a web application. I'd like to recall that on most
appliances one can write applications that work beautifully without
exchanging a single byte on the network. I don't know whether it's an
o.s. or a JME thing, but all the phones I've had kindly asked me whether
I want to allow a certain JME app the permission to connect to the
internet, before it does (it can be asked every time, or
once-and-for-all as I prefer). While I don't live in China, this feature
is very useful for my wallet.
