I had a chinese developer who was wanted by the chinese authorities for putting up un-authorized news. They even employed hackers to try to shut him down when i let him host on my servers. He had people throughout china hosting the site on dial-up evrytime they blocked his IP.

one guy was arrested and tortured by the secret police over there.

but for all I know he was high on opium and full of shit, right?

That is some chilling stuff. Thanks for the info, whether or not it is opium-filtered
