China's scary lesson to the world: Censoring the Internet works.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/chinas-scary-lesson-to-the-world-censoring-the-internet-works/2016/05/23/413afe78-fff3-11e5-8bb1-f124a43f84dc_story.html
Far from knocking down the world's largest system of
censorship, China in fact is moving ever more confidently in
the opposite direction, strengthening the wall's legal
foundations, closing breaches and reinforcing its control of
the Web behind the wall. Defensive no more about its
censorship record, China is trumpeting its vision of "Internet
sovereignty" as a model for the world and is moving to make it
a legal reality at home.

Now what would China do given global "Right To Be Forgotten" powers of
the sort being demanded by France? Hmm?
