New at Reason: David Harsanyi on Technology, Censorship, and Chinese Democracy
The Chinese
government recently demanded that all personal computers sold in
that country be equipped with software that allows government
officials to block access to Web sites that disseminate "unhealthy
information." But as David Harsanyi writes, the trouble for the
Communist nation is that Internet users have rather effortlessly
gotten around the "Great Firewall of China." And if history is any
indication, ingenuity will prevail once more. If we've learned
anything as a free people, Harsanyi argues, it's that you can't
keep the masses from their pornography—or, on occasion, even the
truth.
