  • The Great Firewall: The Negative Impact Of The Internet On China

    1198 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to an article by Rebecca MacKinnon, “While the Chinese government has supported the development of the Internet as a tool for business, entertainment, education, and information exchange, it has succeeded in preventing people from using the Internet to organize any kind of viable political opposition. Balancing openness with control has been the central challenge for the Chinese Communist Party since Deng Xiaoping began his policy of “reform and opening up” in 1979.” Clearly, the normal Chinese citizen would be afraid to just browse the Internet because of the filters and possible risks involved. “One student blogger in China, pen-named “Undersound” estimated that only about five percent of the people he knows actually use proxy servers to access blocked websites.

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

    The best way to look at and understand TOR is to think of it as a group of mirrors and a laser. Your computer is the laser and it is pointing at where you want to go, and typically like with an anonymous web site it’s a straight line. Now because it’s a straight line its clear as day to see where the light is coming from and where it’s going. A proxy adds a mirror in between your computer and the destination, while it does add a bit of interference it is still relatively easy to see the source of the light. With TOR, there are several mirrors added making it far more difficult to find the source of the light. That light is your IP address, it is clear to see in terms of safety which seems like a far more viable option. To make matters even better TOR is free so essentially its free protection, combining it with an anonymizing website hiding your cookies it’s a great duo.
