China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

    I have a similar kind of firewall in my home network it really makes internet use much better. it only seems drastic if you are dependent or addicted to the use of the us tech company services from alphabet, meta, amazon etc.

        I either block stuff via a PiHole on my home network and/or the hosts file in Linux/Android. I just compiled a few good lists from github that block almost all US tech sites completely, not only amazon for example but all aws servers etc. Its more of like a fun tinkering bc I was bored, blocking aws servers also causes issues with steam cloud for example bc a vast amount of services use these tech giants’ servers for their services.

        i can try to put the links of the github in a pastebin, but dont count on me pls haha i dont jave much time rn
