Please add new sections to the bottom of the page
Rewrite
- I have removed the section on https servers; if China blocks them, not much point in listing them.
- I have corrected the section on the TorBlock extension; as I understand it, it is active on all wikis but the override is disabled. (That is, it was written to automatically softblock all exit nodes and override any local hard blocks. Only the override has been disabled.)
- Added IP block exemption.
- Modified the section on soft blocks. Hard blocks should be much less controversial now that IPBE has been implemented.
Why is it Wikipedia's job to help others circumvent the law?
I have severe reservations about this article. In my opinion Wikipedia shouldn't state or support opposition of the law. I don't care if China's censorship of Wikipedia is wrong, we shouldn't support the circumventing of any law anywhere in any place. I will talk with Jimbo on this. If he agrees, this may need speedy deletion.--Ipatrol (talk) 19:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- As long as these articles don't circumvbent western law, it won't matter.
