As long as you are very clear you are not directing your anger at the government, it's usually ok to protest in China. For example, there are often mass protests if wages are not paid to factory workers, etc. https://www.voanews.com/a/chinese-migrant-workers-protest-un...

Maybe I interpret it wrong, but here is a tricky point: You have to apply for government's permission to do a legal on-street protest. ref: http://www.npc.gov.cn/wxzl/gongbao/1989-10/31/content_148121... (Chapter 2 Article 7, Chinese)

I believe in the US as well if you're organizing a protest on public property you need a permit in some areas.

How come operators of the github page are not in some reeducation camp, or elimitated? Seems like the censors are not as knowing as we thought.

More so, you can protest against your corrupt local government as long as you support the central government in Beijing.

Unless your workdays are full of playing games and drinking with coworkers you’ll probably burn out with that schedule.

But then again startups founders work those hours or more

Maybe those web browsers are linked to a online URL database. If any URL is matched in the database, then they will refuse to load the page. But if true, that also means those web browsers are querying a online database when user is trying to access a URL. Not a good news no matter how you hold it.

Doesn't Chrome and Firefox do the same for known malicious websites? IIRC they use hashes and / or a local database of hashes, but I can't be sure. Pretty sure that caused major controversy in its earlier days too.

It checks a bloom filter.

Yes, they download a database of forbidden sites from Google (SafeBrowsing) [1]

Is not that the same in other countries? In Russia you also need to negotiate the protest at least 10 days before the event (and the government has lot of excuses to deny it).

I think they would simply talk to the person first. Maybe the person is sincerely mistaking, stop their harmful behaviour and there will be no need in a reeducation camp.
