RE: Censorship on STEEMIT - Tron episode 1

in #censorship5 years ago (edited)

And this is why we don't want a centralized blockchain run by the CCP.
In those changes is a new blacklist functionality, that literally connects to a random box in China to get an EXTRA blacklist from

http://39.105.221.87:8081/steemit/blacklist

The blocklist ip sits in this network range :

inetnum:        39.96.0.0 - 39.108.255.255
netname:        ALISOFT
descr:          Aliyun Computing Co., LTD
descr:          5F, Builing D, the West Lake International Plaza of S&T
descr:          No.391 Wen'er Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, 310099
country:        CN

ALISOFT / ALIYUN = ALIBABA

This extra blacklist check means they don't even need to update condenser in the future, they can just push out new censorship mandates direct from China.

Thanks @justinsunsteemit for really proving our point, and giving #hive even more momentum and media attention!

Sort:  

NOTHING proves how correct we are to dump Justin and the virus spreading Chinese Communist Party and leave him to censor his own chain more than this.

I think the entire Steemit purchase could even be traced back to the CCP worrying about the future potential problem they will have trying to block arbitrary Steem now Hive front ends popping up and showing their oppressed and silenced people what is really going on in their country.

Annoymous Hive accounts should be promoted in all the significant Chinese languages and especially Mandarin, I'd really love to see a thriving underground Hive China movement.

So interesting. It's just a bit shocking when you finally come to the realization that it REALLY WAS an orchestrated takeover attempt by the CCP. When you see it clearly it becomes more disturbing. Well, I see TWO major positive lines growing out of this :

( 1 ) We now have a PERFECT "A/B' test (case study) situation by which to SHOW the larger public how CCP-centralized ( #Steemit ) versus decentralized ( #Hive ) are different, by showing ACTUAL instances of censorship. This can be used to our ADVANTAGE to bring in new members to Hive. Its like a blessing in disguise.

( 2 ) It is a perfect political weapon against the CCP, on a broader scale. We should be writing up articles and reaching out to the anti-CCP crowd to show them the EVIDENCE of what is going on here. This will help BOTH expand the reach of Hive, AND contribute to the wider resistance movement.

This needs to be spread everywhere. Coindesk and all other crypto media need to report this!

Now that link returns an empty data array. They are now hiding the blacklist somewhere else

Hi @ausbitbank I had an idea to basically move all the SEO and content from steemit to hive, it would require us all manually doing it unless someone could create a tool, but please check out my idea at https://steemit.com/hive/@gringo211985/seo-solution-for-hive-io-let-s-take-our-content-with-us

BTW: here is the China's new internet law implemented on March 1st, 2020, be positive, or else, you get censored ^^
