- Facebook needs to invest in more than just censorship tools if it hopes to lift a seven-year ban in China
- Facebook is working on software designed to suppress content
- “Facebook would need to satisfy Chinese government demands and be able to adapt to China’s censorship conditions,” said Li Yonghui, head of the international relations institute at Beijing Foreign Studies University
- “It’s not just about the firewall, Facebook wouldn’t transform the market overnight because people stick to what they already have and use,” Clark said
Censorship is an issue that raises ethical concerns as in order for an organisation to censor certain content they must meet certain requirements to be classed as censored content. The China firewall is one of the most complex censorship schemes, therefore reinforces China as a communist country. I think the importance of censorship is very significant within day to day life but I also think it is a debate that has two sides to the argument.
