Comments on Michael Anti: Behind the Great Firewall of China

Recently I watch the TED TALK Michael Anti: Behind the Great Firewall of China. The internet in China has been blocked until today and also censored by the government. Anti said it's like cat and mouse. The government censorship is the big and bad cat and we, the citizens are mouse.I think it's really a evil technique to "block and clone" at the same time while other dictatorship government just either block or clone. Block is a method that most people know, but of course, some people still know little about it. On the other hand, clone is a high and evil technique that gives people an illusion that the government start to give them the right of free speech. Also, cloning satisfied the people's need of social networking websites. Most of my Chinese friends are happy with Weibo in China, and not considering about the censorship that is happening there. They think it has nothing to do with them and it's normal to use words that is not the usual one to represent the meaning of another. They don't have the concept of "Free speech" and all the other rights we think we should have. If one day, the found out some banned words that can be seen on the net, they think it's blessing of the government.
