- Tool to raise public descussion.. Government pays attention to FB posts, more then to the strikes..
- This is what happens in democratic country, but even in China, The government of the communist party reaches out to people not only by censored traditional media, but also vida digital media – wechat.. FB, Youtube, Twitter and the rest western social media is banned, although wechat is a copy of youtube and Russians Odnoklasniki. We all know that all of them are filtered and “controled”, but When I asked… some western thinking Chinese told me they have VPN Others told me that there is no need – since we have wechat. By all means Chinese gov maked influence Even in China/
