Are you naive enough to believe the "we are just filtering porn" snake
oil sold by the chinese government ?
Could that be "all" the Chinese govt also wanted filtered? :-)
I am looking at the filtering from the perspective that while it's a very important communication medium, the Internet also has it's very ugly sides which people need protection from. It could be porn, it could be culture, it could be social engineering - everything has a -ve side. Perhaps I am just being naive, but I still want to believe the Chinese govt isn't more naive!
