You didn&#x27;t really address his argument other than to say it is silly?<p>In China it is very clear what is happening. In e.g. US it is all considered a secret. Everyone in China is aware of the &quot;Great Big Firewall&quot; and all the various laws restricting what you can and can not say.<p>Someone linked once to an article explaining that knowing of the existence of a monitoring system results in people changing their behaviors. This even though some of them support the system.<p>Seems easily comparable to me.
