The Digital Cage: How China Controls Information Without Locking It Down
Imagine trying to access Google in China. Sometimes it loads perfectly. Other times it's frustratingly slow. Occasionally, it doesn't load at all. This isn't a technical glitch - it's deliberate design. China's censorship doesn't simply block information; it taxes it through inconvenience. This subtle approach represents a fundamental shift in how authoritarian regimes control information in the digital age. Rather than building impenetrable walls, they create just enough friction to discourage most users while allowing determined citizens through. The genius lies in its plausible deniability - when websites load slowly, is it censorship or just poor internet service? This question lies at the heart of Margaret Roberts' groundbreaking analysis of China's information control system.
