0 Le Grand Firewall de Chine, dénommé par analogie avec la Grande Muraille de Chine, est le nom usuel du projet de surveillance et de censure d Internet géré par le ministère de la Sécurité publique de la République populaire de Chine.
Une équipe d universitaires constituée de chercheurs issus de quatre universités américaines et canadiennes a indiqué avoir mesuré la taille et les effets de cet outil de censure déployé par le gouvernement chinois pour contrôler la navigation de ses citoyens. Dans un projet de recherche qui a duré neuf mois, d avril à décembre 2020, des universitaires ont développé un système appelé GFWatch qui accédait à des domaines à l intérieur et à l extérieur de l espace Internet chinois, puis mesurait comment le Great Firewall (GFW) altérerait la connexion au niveau DNS afin d empêcher les utilisateurs chinois d accéder à un domaine, ou une entité externe d accéder à des sites internes chinois.

It began in February with a tweet by Rihanna that sparked widespread condemnation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modiâs handling of massive farmer protests near the capital, souring an already troubled relationship between the government and Twitter. Moving to contain the backlash, officials hit Twitter with multiple injunctions to block hundreds of tweets critical of the government. In the same month, the Indian government announced the new rules, in the works for years, that apply to social media companies, streaming platforms and digital news publishers.
