> In 2007, numerous bloggers were censored and their posts deleted by police for expressing criticism of, or even support for, presidential candidates. This even led to some bloggers being arrested by the police. Subsequently, in 2008, just before a new presidential election, new legislation that required all major Internet portal sites to require identity verification of their users was put into effect.
I think this legislation may have been overturned by their Supreme Court, but there's shockingly little reporting of this in western media. So of course it would be too much to ask of an 'expert genius' to be aware of how such things turn out in practice.
