Unless... Google considers Taiwan to be China 🤯

Taiwan is China. Its official name is the Republic of China. Taiwan has literally changed hands multiple times and was ultimately taken over by the Chinese. In fact, there are indigenous people there, but very few of them remain.

Imagine that. 🧐 🤔

More censorship, more interest on Nostr... But what about Iran? That's hard to talk about this one... We will try our best. #Iran #Nostr

Most upperclass folks in China (and even their kids) regularly used VPNs and were able to access forbidden sites, at least while I was living there in a provincial capital city, 2018-19 The way it was explained to me is that the government simply doesn’t want the majority of people to have access to threatening information. I suppose educated, wealthier people in cities are too few in comparison to bother with.

True that. But if people are searching with VPNs wouldn't the searches come from another country instead of China then?

The UN does, and the US does (officially), so that makes sense.

It's China, but it's nothing to do with free speech, it's because they think it's a web3 thing and they can make money.

VPN use is prevalent, it’s forbidden but they still use it

That’s a good point 😅 we’ve reached the limits of my technical knowledge

LoL yes there is one part of China where they care, it's called Hong Kong and Taiwan. Besides that, Chinese DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about "free speech". Right now they pretty much enjoying the last days of summer travelling and having fun.

Communists are the best marketers of freedom tools
