China is the obstacle to Google’s plan to end internet censorship

Submitted by charlie on Mon, Dec 12, 2016
It’s been three years since Eric Schmidt proclaimed(link is external) that Google would chart a course to ending online censorship(link is external) within ten years. Now is a great time to check on Google’s progress, reassess the landscape, benchmark Google’s efforts against others who share the same goal, postulate on the China strategy and offer suggestions on how they might effectively move forward.

What has Google accomplished since November 2013?
The first thing they have accomplished is an entire rebranding of both Google (now Alphabet) and Google Ideas (now Jigsaw). Throughout this blog post, reference is made to both new and old company names.
Google has started to develop two main tools which they believe can help in the fight against censorship. Jigsaw’s DDoS protection service, Project Shield(link is external), is effectively preventing censorship-inspired DDoS attacks and recently helped to repel an attack on Brian Krebs’ blog(link is external). The service is similar to other anti-DDoS services developed by internet freedom champions and for-profit services like Cloudflare(link is external).

Do you like Chinese products? Why?

Image
Yes, I do, but god knows why when it comes to “good Chinese products”, Chinese cuisines just popped up in my mind (probably due to the fact that China is a mecca for gourmets). And today, I really want to amaze you with a Chinese product which is on its way to sweep across the globe. Yeah, I’m talking about  Latiao ! You have no idea how Latiao has already captured the heart of our westerner friends. And these pictures can fill you in. Basically, these “Latiao-goers” are teachers in China, and personally speaking, there is little chance that one can resist its magic charm at first taste.

The spicy sticks that are enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame on the global palate. The cheap "delicacy" is made from gluten, the stuff that makes bread do
