I wondered if this would happen. Steemit was doing fairly well in China. Will they block all possible front ends and are there ways to bypass the great firewall? I'm sure people will try, but I cannot imagine living with such a censored internet.

I think most Steemians in China use VPN every day probably. Firewall is getting stronger, I have to find new VPN everytime I go back to China. I also wonder if they will block all the front ends, or is it even possible? Also I wonder if @wherein survives the firewall, how they will comply with the Chinese internet regulation thing. News is pretty new, probably more updates in the coming weeks.

I'm sure anyone operating a VPN is carefully watched. The authorities do not seem to want to give too much freedom, which is sad to see.

Freedom, those guys don’t give and most of the people there don’t dare to care anymore. All good.
That being said, I still believe such a laughable government will collapse at one point.

Thanks, some family members are in China, I have no choice. I actually know a friend got asked if he ever shared a certain link (Apple Daily) as they installed MFSocket on his device. But I think my account here on steem has far less influence compared to his. I largely stopped using Chinese social media afte posts getting deleted a couple of times.

Oh facial recognition tech, hasn’n been in use yet I think, but sooner or later, probably under close development ^^ but really some journalists got blacklisted already, like they can’t buy train tickets etc anymore.

Facial recognition is absolutely in use, especially in places like Xinjiang but even here in Shanghai. There are numerous counts of criminals getting caught in huge crowds thanks to the technology, and even the UK is buying into the technology in hopes of becoming just as dystopian...

I was having this conversation with nathan earlier today. This might seem like a drawback but it wont stop steem from dominating Asia. Yes the government might have control over the media in China but things will definitely change with time. People must be free to express themselves.

Was to be expected, only a matter of time. As soon as non-censored media reach a critical mass in China, they get blocked. I was a bit surprised that it still was freely available when I visited China 2 months ago.

Yes and no. You need some way to acces the steem chain, and if every website and/or dapp that allows you to do so is blocked, then it becomes more difficult for the average user.

It's good news. Because, if Chinese govt is restricting steemit in its territory, that shows how powerful and revolutionary steemit actually is, as a medium of expression.
Moreover, its nothing new. China always restricts that gives freedom of expression to its citizens. So, the government has actually endorsed the power of steemit and the danger it poses to the world of regulated Internet.
Soon, the whole world will come to know about it.

u think mychat will be based on blockchain some day? + you may like the talk at 35c3 concerning the social credit system
i think blockchain is a little bit more for communism than for capitalism, because everybody could know what everybody else has got inside the particular chain.
btw I do know that neither china is 100% communistic, nor we live in a 100% capitalistic system.
like the scope on individualism here and on collectivism there.
