UN is a joke because the major countries (US among them) want it to be.

Increased ads will bring in more revenue. They're not doing this for the sake of it.

I'm fascinated by the vitriol directed at Marissa. A lot of people seemed to take her hiring and subsequent performance as a personal offence to them.

I thought it was a good question.
"Do people in China in general care enough about censorship to pay for access to uncensored internet?" doesn't have an explicitly obvious answer, does it?
They could be happy with their internet as is. They could be unhappy and willing to pay. They could be unhappy but unwilling/unable to pay.

Kenya too. You have to register your SIM card in order for it to be activated. Registration involves a form of ID (passport/birth certificate)

Was anybody else turned off by the author's approach to characterisation in this book? I feel like he's over-explaining their reasoning/motivation for doing the things they do to the point where it's irritating. It's like he's trying to tell you everything about a character in the shortest time possible. No subtlety.
Am I overreacting? I'm still within the first third but I don't think I'll be able to get through the book if it's entirely like this.
