The model of the incident that china as is spreading around the world. As more and more nations adopt a chinese approach to the insenet, they will start to cut off these open platforms selves. We've seen russia shift from its own take on inscident censorship in much more of a chinese direction. I guess this brings us to to a word which we surprisingly haven't used yet, the splinter net. Is that a future you see, james?

Once little more than a pornography filter, China’s ‘Great Firewall’ has evolved into the most sophisticated system of online censorship in the world. As the Chinese internet grows and online businesses thrive, speech is controlled, dissent quashed, and attempts to organise outside the official Communist Party are quickly stamped out. But the effects of the Great Firewall are not confined to China itself. In this week's episode James Griffiths tells Carl Miller about his years of investigation into the Great Firewall and the politicians, tech leaders, dissidents and hackers whose lives revolve around it.
