If you visit China, I am sure you would like the Great Wall, however, if you surf the Internet in China, I am sure you hate the Great FireWall (GFW). How a firewall could "serve" over 3.8 billion Internet users in China is a readily interesting story for the globe.
In the presentation and seminar, we will quote case studies and discussions from various forums in China about how Internet censorship impacts them. In addition, we will present technical aspects and diagnosis on how censorship could be achieved on the Internet, content filtering software and instant messenger. Moreover, some tools/software (China or non-China made) used to bypass Internet and content censorship.
This presentation is suitable to those would like to do business/tours in China.
