BBC launches mirror site on Tor.

They're doing this so people in oppressive countries *cough*China*cough* can still get to it.

I guess Tor's the new Radio Free Europe...

China is imposing strict gaming curfews and time limits on their youth.

This could be a pretty huge story. We'll have to see how it affects the gaming market.

Ever wonder what it's like to be a political prisoner in China?

This picture might answer your question. Slightly NSFW

Interesting, in that China is part owner of Reddit.

Need to see some source on that one.

If they do they don’t much leverage over it.

Reddit has been my primary news source for Hong Kong protest pictures and Chinese-President-Is-Winnie-the-Poo memes for months now.

I’ve also seen some incredibly graphic versions of pictures from the tiananmen square massacre over the years hit front page. No chance those stay online if China has any say in Reddit content.

Interesting. Still don’t think they can do much to content as minor investors. I guess I’d never know if they did.

Reddit seems to be going out of their way lately to make anyone browsing it from the Chinese government very, very angry.

Guy gets bubonic plague eating a wild rabbit.

Another plague has hit two people there.

Don't discount Mother Nature trying to correct overpopulation.

Huawei built backdoors into their equipment, because of course they did
U.S. officials now claim Huawei has included backdoors into the equipment that effectively allows it to access the same data law enforcement can access. Typically these backdoors, known as “lawful interception interfaces” are used exclusively by law enforcement who must provide warrants to gain access. The equivalent of the old school wiretap, these lawful interception interfaces gives the user of the interface access to any data transmitted over the network, including phone calls and text messages.

Naturally, equipment providers aren’t supposed to have access and are supposed to build the equipment in such a way that they can’t gain access down the line. But the U.S. accuses Huawei of doing just that.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. took its latest proof to closed-door meetings with officials and telco companies in the U.K. and Germany. A confidential memo written by the German Foreign Office and acquired by the Wall Street Journal characterizes the proof presented in the meeting as a “smoking gun.”

Are we acting surprised? Did not every single person with awareness of it not know this was happening?
