China Channel Firefox add-on
Full user review
-
"Utterly pointless"
Pros
Provides good first-hand experience for those who never experienced severe internet censorship at school or at their workplace.
Cons
You have to click and download for something that's already implemented in much of our public access computers, a rather pointless thing to do i must say.
Summary
When you think about the fact that most chinese are using public accessable computers in internet cafes, like the ones we use at the library and other public places, you couldn't help but wonder how similar we are to them when it comes to internet censorship.
Instead of trying to give people with no internet censorship a chance to see what things would be like it the situation differed, why not try make a firefox add-on that let's those who have internet censorship on their computer see how easy it is to surf freely? I think the publishers would get better reward for their effort once they actually achieved something of use.
