Chinese man most
likely one engaged

education. People
that would find this
article most
valuable would be
people that are
interested in hard
evidence about
Chinese web
users motivation
for bypassing the
firewall.

In summary,
chinese web
users bypass
the Great
Firewall in
order to
access social
media and
news that the
Chinese
government
would rather
them not view.
Increasingly
easy to use
tools allows
common
Chinese
people to
bypass
Chinas
firewall

young college
male and is
most likely not
in favor of the
Great Firewall
and believes
in a free web.

while users
against it
assert that
censorship
deprives them
of the freedom
of expression
and the right
to acquire
online
information
(Zhou, 2008)

I think this article

provides some
valuable
information and
includes a survey
of 319 people
over the web. He
then analyzes
that and other
sources and
compiles an
argument against
the Great Firewall

This was the first article

I researched so it really
grabbed my interest
since it was about China

This article
shows how

Pushbuttonautocracy in

Analysing
the role of
Internet
infrastructu

institutions
and
internationa
l markets in
creating a
Tunisian
censorship
regime

Written at the
European
University
Institute in Italy,
this article
would be useful
for anyone
looking for
information on
how to
dismantle
censorship
systems.

This article
provides
information
on how the
Tunisian
government
dismantled
the
censorship
regime
following
the Jasmine
revolution

This article
provides a
different
perspective
but the
author
would most
likely agree
we should
dismember
all
censorship
programs
that do not
benefit
users.

This has
been
particularly
evident in
the
widespread

strikes
following the
Tunisian
revolution to

This article is
useful to me
because I think
we should look
to the past to
help solve
problems in
the future.

Free and
Open

Software
versus
Internet
content
filtering and
censorship:
A case
study

This article was

written by an
individual from
Ryerson
University in
Toronto. It would
be useful to
anyone
interested in the
future of the
internet or
someone who is
unsure about
open source
softwaree and
its benefits.

This article
stakes
FOSS(Free
and Open
Source
Software) vs
Internet
content and
censorship.

I think the
point of the
article was
the show
the
advantages
of FOSS and
how internet
censorship
and filtering
has
negative
effects and
will stunt
the growth
of the
internet and
the human
race. This
pretty much
falls in line
with my and
many other
millennials
opinions on
this subject

It is
important to
note that
this study
does not
claim that
the above
are the only
parameters
that should
be
considered
for
measuring
the
efficiency of
FOSS
packages

I feel that this

article
provided
another valid
viewpoint and
shows the
potential
benefits of a
transparent,
free society.

Internet

and its
implications
on Chinas
blogosphere

This is written
by two people
from The
Department of
Communication,
University at
Buffalo and
could be useful
to someone
studied internet
censorship and
its effects or
someone
studying free

This article
focuses a lot
on the
changing
focus in
Chinas
blogosphere
towards
personal
diaries
rather than
political
subjects.

Although
not trying to
confront the
state, Yu
(2007)
argued,
Chinese
Bloggers
have

d graying
of Chinese
culture
through
deconstructi

refusing the

I like this
article because
I believe that
by analyzing a
smaller sample
size such as
the
blogosphere
it can help give
a picture of
citizens
personal
thoughts and
what effect
internet
censorship has
on that.

Tracing the
route of
Chinas
Internet
censorship:
An
empirical
study

Two men
cosigned this
paper from the
Hong Kong
Baptist
University and I
think are writing
to those looking
empirical
evidence to
support their
argument about
internet
censorship

This article
examines
which
systems
China uses
to control
internet
traffic and
shows how
traffic is
distributed
between its
levels.

The opinion
described in
this article
against
internet
censorship
follows the
same strong
opinion held
by others in
academia,
by
millennials
andtech
savvypeople.

Moreover,
filtering at
the router
level based
on IP
addresses is
far from
being the
primary
methods as
Berkman (J.
Zittrain and
Edelman,
2002)
claimed.

This article was

really helpful
for me because
it allowed me
to understand
the systems
that allow the
Chinese
government to
regulate the
internet traffic
of its citizens.
It also provides
some pictures
and tables that
