Yeah right. None of my family's phones will likely get patched. And several unfriendly countries are burning the midnight oil to exploit this vulnerability.

There are completely unrelated problems there too. I got fed up, because of the moderation and rules for my favorite sub /r/worldnews. They sort out soft paywalled sites. I kind of understand that. However: The only reliable source of news about China, the center of this century's economic activity and major conflicts, http://scmp.com/ will never be visible, while Chinese government propaganda sites is among the top posts on a daily basis. It is so bad it does look intentional, and not due to ignorance.

Brigading means posts critical of India or Israel will never be visible, and for some reason you can post praise of the F-35 fighter project, but you can not criticize it.

China is repeating all the errors Japan committed in the -80s.

I have more cars than parking spaces.

It will not help. Working hard fills the pockets of the rich, not of the workers. Karl Marx was wrong in many ways, but he understood the consequences of untamed capitalism, and it is not suddenly going to fix itself, it is going to get worse.

They threatened me on a Chinese train for the same reason. No charging mobile phones on Chinese State railway trains. (As it functioned as my camera, that really sucked, but then again, I didn't like China...) They pulled the fuses to make sure no more passengers charged their phones.
