As the development of technology of networks and the prevalence of Internet, we can obtain needed information more easily, and thus our work and study are increasly convenient and efficient. Unfortunately, in China, you may not find all the information which you want ot obtain from the Internet, because there is a notorious project aiming to censor and even block the Internet information which the government does not will to spread in normal people, --including erotic, voilent, and political sensitive information. And it is the Gold Shield Engineering.
Here I would not discuss whether the blockage of the erotic, voilent and political sensitive information is just, and let's see the so-called information surveillance. Is it true that the Gold Shield is used to filter the ill information? In my view, the information which is filtered includes not only those ill content but plenty of useful and valuable information. Why? The answer is quite simple. The Chinese government wants to block everything which may be adverse to its rule even if the information is objevtive and neutrality. And it is more important that the censor system is quite stupid but truculenct so that it take the very savage measure -- blocking everything that may even has a little and unconspicuous relationship with the so-called wrong content. So under this exact system, a great deal of information is filtered by the Gold Shield and we often, as a result, cannot explore those useful but "ill" information.
Now, as we look, many excellent websites are blocked by the government and the information sharing only becomes the sacrificial lamb of the censor system. Wikipedia, New Threads and etc have been blocked by the Gold Shield, and I can only search a few of contents by Google but cannot explore the whole information. When we are deprived our basic right to know information, how the courtry advocates the democracy?
I don't know when our people could enjoy the true information fluency in our country. Fuck the damed Gold Shield!
