The Great Firewall of China: How to Build and Control an Alternative Version of the Internet (英語) ハードカバー – 2019/3/15

Once little more than a glorified porn filter, China&;s &;Great Firewall&; has evolved into the most sophisticated system of online censorship in the world. Even as the Chinese internet grows and online businesses thrive, speech is controlled, dissent quashed, and any attempts to organize outside the official Communist Party are quickly stamped out. Some are able to bypass the wall using VPNs, but this creates further a further divide between an intellectual class and the population at large, as those without the resources or digital knowhow are left in the dark. And there are hints that President Xi Jinping will soon fill in these leaks in the wall.
As censorship, distortion, and fake news gain traction around the world, James Griffiths takes a look inside the Great Firewall and explores just how far it has spread. He looks at how internet giants like Google and Facebook are bowing to pressure and agreeing to compromise internet freedoms in pursuit of the burgeoning Chinese market. Griffiths also shows how the spread of Chinese influence around the globe is tied to an increasing worldwide crackdown in online freedom. One of China&;s most insidious exports are its censorship techniques, and its Firewall is an inspiration for aspiring autocrats the world over.
 Griffiths pushes back on the longstanding excuse that the internet is too big to be contained and makes the case that censorship tools are becoming more sophisticated at the very same time that users are becoming more complacent. His book is a caution to anyone who believes in a free and open internet and call to action for a radical new vision of online liberty.



中國不允許存在的書,在一個中國不存在的日期發行-
《牆國誌:中國如何控制網路》即將在6/4出版!
中國的防火長城是世界上最龐大的線上審查機制,對內監控過濾著人民的一舉一動,並用以對付法輪功、圖博人、維吾爾族和異議人士
近十年中國更嘗試將「牆」的影響範圍擴展到國外,近期臉書的審查機制、推特上質疑李飛飛紅色背景的帳號遭到註銷、當然還有層出不窮的網路釣魚郵件和惡意程式入侵、以及滿天飛的假消息(臺灣人讀起來應該很熟悉)
在《牆國誌》中,CNN記者詹姆斯.格里菲斯耗費數年進行調查,逐步拼湊出中國防火長城的發展歷程與運作機制,並深入淺出的介紹中國的資訊發展、網路控制以及假訊息的發展史
中國如何打造出這部審查機器,而防火長城的觸手又是如何伸出中國,進而影響了全世界每個人的生活?
如果我們想保護網路的自由、開放、民主與透明,又能夠怎麼做?
隨著中國即將撕毀一國兩制強推港版國安法,加上不可言說的日期即將到來,網路上的言論管制只會更加緊縮。觀察中國武漢肺炎爆發,從一開始的管制言論到後來將發源地包裝為「抗疫先驅」的過程,也可見中國對於網路言論的控制影響的不只是中國人民,更會造成全世界的危機
近在咫尺並遭受長期攻擊的臺灣,要努力了解中國如何透過網路和無聲的滲透建立數位極權、摧毀一個國家的自由民主,並加以防範,為世世代代的臺灣人和嚮往自由的人們撐出希望和未來
