"Government regulations prohibit the use of the internet for a variety
of activities, which include "harming the honor or the interests of the
nation", "disrupting national policies on religion, propagating evil
cults and feudal superstitions" and "inciting illegal assemblies,
associations, marches, demonstrations, or gatherings that disturb
social order."

None of the major search engine has a place in these kinds of political
messes; they are already too powerful and too wealthy for my likings. I
just don't understand why the search engines cannot be satisfied with
the degree of chaos that they have already caused in the populace.

So no Wikipedia and no Chinese Wiki-based Encyclopedia either. Speaking about
freedom of speech and expression (or lack thereof)... nanny-confined
education instead.

Best wishes,
