The filtering is of two main types: China does lots of things in various ways. Best educated guesses as to why this is so are around lack of coordination internally and they like to try new things to see how much under- or over-blocking happens. What's been interesting is that I ran an IPv6-only host for the past year and queried all sorts of banned terms and known-blocked sites without issue. It seems China only focuses on IPv4 right now. When Huawei, Cisco, ZTE, and others have an IPv6 firewalling solution, I'm sure the censorship will expand to include IPv6 as well. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
