The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it

Violence is always the last option, but if that time comes, it is the ONLY option.

The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it.

While the Internet is censored in China, the censorship is allowing a level of speech to take place that's unprecedented.

This could seem counterintuitive for many dictators running communist or socialist single-party states, but a thriving private tech industry can contribute invaluable tools to help you implement a controllable internet. The reason is fairly simple: the technologies that transform internet applications into more personalized, efficient and enjoyable experiences are usually the same ones that increase the capacity to monitor its users.

In the past, censorship worked by blocking the flow of information. In the 21st century, censorship works by flooding people with irrelevant information. People just don't know what to pay attention to, and they often spend their time investigating and debating side issues.
