The Great Firewall of China

The Great Firewall of China is an extensive government-controlled system that filters and controls internet access within China. It employs technology to block or restrict access to websites, online services, and content deemed sensitive or undesirable by the Chinese authorities. This includes social media platforms, news outlets, and tools that allow users to bypass censorship. The goal is to regulate online information, maintain social stability, and prevent access to content the government considers harmful or destabilizing. It effectively creates a battleground between open internet access and state-imposed restrictions within China.
