China Presses Its Internet Censorship Efforts Across the Globe
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/02/technology/china-technology-censorship-borders-expansion.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
For years, China has exerted digital control with a system of
internet filters known as the Great Firewall, which allows
authorities to limit what people see online. To broaden its
censorship efforts, Beijing is venturing outside the Great
Firewall and paying more attention to what its citizens are
saying on non-Chinese apps and services. As part of that
shift, Beijing has at times pressured foreign companies like
Google and Facebook, which are both blocked in China, to take
down certain content. At other times, it has bypassed foreign
companies entirely and instead directly pushed users of global
social media to encourage self-censorship.
