Q: How does the Google surrender affect us - the mainland end users?
I read the short blog here on Echinacities that "Google surrendered to China" but what does that really mean? Does that mean they will stop throttling bandwidth of Google users and let VPN users surf in peace or what?
From what I understood, it means you won't be warned if you try to google any of the "sensitive words" on the Chinese version.
You know, so that unsuspecting people can get caught more easily if "da Man" detects some suspicious searches.
I'm guessing it won't make a difference, as long as you're being... "harmonious". Let's just hope they don't do what Yahoo did.
Yeah, what did Yahoo do? And also is the VPN issue still a problem? I notice my own computer is freezing up now when I try to go to Google.ca using my VPN and I never had that problem until late November. Without a VPN I cannot get to Google.ca. What is going on?
As long as you use a proactive VPN that adapts to attacks you will be fine.
Even with mine turned off I can still get Google. Not sure what the fuss is about.
But you will always have your bandwidth slower with a VPN...the cost of freedom.
I think it depends on the city and region you reside.
