Mediafire is a file sharing site, much like Rapidshare, except that it is a lot better. The speeds are a lot quicker because MF supports download accelerators. It also allows parallel downloads, resuming, and has no download limit, captcha, or wait time. (Be advised that I may be wrong about some of this stuff because I haven't been able to use it for so long, for obvious reasons  )I am so pumped about this and personally I would rather have MF unblocked than Facebook or Youtube.   | ||

Also, I would personally prefer YouTube being unblocked, but i find it likely China's vendetta with Google will keep it down. | ||

And as for YouTube and Facebook, what do you guys think is the best way to get access? I could set up a VPN on one of my old Toshiba laptops.. But do you guys know any alternatives? Edit: lol fail, totally skipped the OP's second post.. But I still don't really use MF that much :/ do you guys use it frequently? | ||

But I still don't really use MF that much :/ do you guys use it frequently? an alternative would be freegate 6.80. just double click, and it opens IE and it's good to go. if you want to use it with firefox, you have to configure some proxy settings if you want i could send you it. EDIT: or if you're not in china yet you can just google it | ||

I rarely use Mediafire though. I just don't have a lot of links that redirect me there, so I use Rapidshare. I had a premium account though, so it didn't matter. ;P | ||

One of my friend's father's coworker got picked up by the gov't one day and no one knows where he is now. He was some kinda activist. Scary stuff like this actually happens o.O *shudder* | ||

And the central government would never harass citizens from important countries. I think they are currently quite content with increasing their economy while the USA is playing the class clown diplomatically. | ||

Let me just use a few simple examples. If you are curious as to who is winning the civil war in Yemen, and do a search for that on google, I doubt you will find anything useful. Or let say you are having trouble tech problems. A search on google is most likely going to flood you with irrelevant results. Google is just as misleading as the main stream media. If you wanted to know the REAL reason why ambasador christopher stevens was killed, do u think google will tell you? unlikely. even if u wanted real dirt on China, you're unlikely to find it. The best you can find is fake dirt. When Jiang Qing died, it was ruled a suicide, and the west went with that story. Will Google tell you what REALLY happened to JQ? unlikely. Do some westerners know what happened? Yes. Will Google try to get that information to you. No. Just like Baidu, google will only allow you to see what the oligarks want you to see. Think google is going to tell you what really happened with the jfk assasination? Doubt it. Think you are going to find any relevant information on google about the crimes comited by the British queen? Doubt it. What it comes down to is, google also censors, especially when it comes to dirt on western oligarks, but even in other areas. For example if nato troops killed a bunch of innocent people, google is more likely to cover that up than to expose it. The west, just like China will hide information from you to protect themselves from public backlash. Now I know alot of shils cite the primary reason China is blocking google is because google portrays the leadership negatively, but ask yourself this, isn't yahoo also linking to the same sites that are also critical of China, why not block yahoo too? Most of the time, yahoo, and google links to the same sites if the same exact search term is entered. Then you have websites that are entirely dedicated to criticising China like China smack, yet they aren't blocked. Why is that? That, I am sure, the shils dont have an answer to. As for why China has a problem with google, it probably has more to do with spying. Obviously, there is the disinformation factor. Google links to a lot of sites that are overtly inperialist, and promotes hate. Google also has a long history of working with the us gov, and probably uses alot of google statistics to stir up problems in China. It's also probably why google play, and google services are blocked from all Chinese cell phones, because all of that is very useful to monitor Chinese peoples activities. With that said, blocking google also gives baidu an advantage. | ||
