Not sure why it's so heavily downvoted. Chinese seem to be way more transparent about their surveillance. Before Snowden you could have just told somebody to get rid of their tinfoil hat, but we do know now it's not much better here. Well, don't get offended so easily, of course depending what dimensions you choose for comparison you could say it's incomparably better. But mass state surveillance? Do you really care more about your face on the street than all your online activities?

Not just heavily downvoted, but flagged and in one case, completely removed without trace or reason. No warning, no appeal.

Thanks for the comment though, it's nice to know that someone heard what I was saying.
