Censorship in China is a huge problem that we should deal with. I wonder if we could target the great firewall of China, as well as websites for cctv and the PLA. Could I please get some feedback?
If you are suggesting creating witty and artful cartoons to target the above issues then I can get behind that. Or maybe Youtube vids, or perhaps writing to appropriate agencies, or getting on a radio program with a big reach. Cool! On the other hand if you are suggesting something illegal then I have to say: OP IS A FAGGOT! Which is it? http://forums.whyweprotest.net/threads/new-to-whyweprotest.79618/
Okay. That might find some traction here. EDIT: WWP Anonymous supports all forms of Legal, Peaceful Protesting.
The only way to stop censorship in China is to overthrow the Chinese government. Good luck with that.
Who is this "we" ? What should be done to: ??? You brought up the idea(s). WWP Anonymous is just asking for you to unpack this for WWP Anonymous.
The main point is, that since anonymous has been fighting for free speech in the West, why not look into China, where the government does not even allow freedom of expression?
You think that people haven't been protesting Chinese Government human rights abuse, on-line and off? Methinks that you are a few days late and a further few bucks short. I think you may be in need of giving yourself some education. You appear to me to lack one.
OP, if you would like to have this thread moved to Think Tank from Projects, use the Report Button on your OP. Explain that you need the thread moved to Think Tank. I can't do it because I'm not a Global Moderator. One of those Moderators can do it and they will receive the Report you submit. Have a nice day!

re: IRL protest efforts What do you guys think of the (related) recent an-heroism in Tibet? Effective? No? Discus?
Chinese who are educated enough to use forums and webbarsites, have usually studied English in school. 你讲普通话吗？你能甚至阅读本吗？
Little protests here and there don't amount to anything in a country of 1 billion, with rampant corruption built into the system, and ethnic tensions between regions. It will take 50 million to start a revolution, and it can't be peaceful, Tiennamen square has proven that the military is ready to massacre civilians as necessary. Ghandi tech won't work unless millions are willing to die without defending themselves.
There's currently Occupy Hong Kong. Haven't heard much about it, though. Freeing China is going to be the trickiest of all, and for a whole host of reasons. However, I do recall an #opChina a few months back by Anonops. Haven't heard anything about where that went, if the op's still going, or well, anything other than they had an IRC.... Fuckin' Great Firewall! How does it breach?!
When it comes to web censorship on a national scale, anyone with an average grasp of computer technology can circumvent the restrictions put in place to prevent the user from viewing undesirable sites. I think the first step would be education. Protesting is one thing, but it'll make little impact. Educate the masses, let them know that they do not have to be restricted by this so-called 'Great Firewall', and let them know what they need to do to get around the censorship. There's an interesting article here on the subject: knol.google.com/k/circumventing-the-great-firewall-of-china
Yes that's exactly the way. And we don't need luck we need skills. What I am thinking about is a simple to use P2P public proxy system where computers on one side of the Great Firewall can allow computers in china to access any website at a decent speed and reliable availability. The problem this solves is that most people in there don't know how to use proxies, and the ones available to them right now aren't reliable at all.
