On a more positive note ...
This could be the next great leap forward in making the nation more IT literate in the footsteps of the BBC Micro and RPI.
Instantly 8.8.8.8 painted onto walls in Turkey will become the 'nick of many a graffiti artist. When that hole is blocked then the RPI with Pi-hole (reversed to not filter) will popup on every LAN. Then, of course, the Top-10 VPN list will be a way to draw custom to your website. And so on.
The difference with China is when all this gets so silly an opposition wishing to get 54% of the vote will, like identity cards, boot this idea into history.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
