So, what's up with the Great Firewall? What I've been told:

Google is blocked
Whatever VPN is blocked

I can't believe people are defending the great firewall on a place like lemmy. The internet was built to connect everyone and that everyone could have access to all information, not just the part that your goverment wants you to see.

And to answer the question yes google is blocked, as are most western social media. VPN is not blocked since that would be impossible but they sure are trying, by blocking ips that are known to be VPNs. Source: I've been there

China is not as bad as all the propaganda makes it seem, but they sure aren't good. It's still a totalitarian regime that's done some real fucked up things.

Ah, the irony. lemmygrad itself seems to be blocked in mainland China. if that doesn't convince our friends on lemmygrad that there's something wrong with the way China censors internet, I don't know what will

agreed. I'm just confused by the way lemmygrad's users avoid criticizing china even when it deserves it. I mean it's literally the responsiblity of a good supporter to criticize you when you do something wrong.
