Oddbean new post about login | logout Guess who REALLY likes #nostr? https://i.nostr.build/7DuYBXI3QaFTogJu.jpg
No way, is this public? Where can I find this info?
Google trends.
Oh of cours3 Even more interesting!
There's no google in China, this traffic is coming from Taiwan I guess
Maybe. Wouldn’t Google say Taiwan then?
Unless... Google considers Taiwan to be China 🤯
The UN does, and the US does (officially), so that makes sense.
Most upperclass folks in China (and even their kids) regularly used VPNs and were able to access forbidden sites, at least while I was living there in a provincial capital city, 2018-19 The way it was explained to me is that the government simply doesn’t want the majority of people to have access to threatening information. I suppose educated, wealthier people in cities are too few in comparison to bother with.
True that. But if people are searching with VPNs wouldn't the searches come from another country instead of China then?
That’s a good point 😅 we’ve reached the limits of my technical knowledge
Brazil may go up in the rankings
Interesting. Seeing one relay here for Beijing but assuming any relays would be better off run from overseas https://nostr.watch/relays/find
Imagine that. 🧐 🤔
More censorship, more interest on Nostr... But what about Iran? That's hard to talk about this one... We will try our best. #Iran #Nostr nostr:nevent1qqsqn04pynnxzxgt27udzlxscavjq3zf9tsg70flx99ntagq6lfmzlcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsfev65tsmfgrv69mux65x4c7504wgrzrxgnrzrgj70cnyz9l68hjsrqsqqqqqpktznwl
It's China, but it's nothing to do with free speech, it's because they think it's a web3 thing and they can make money.
LoL yes there is one part of China where they care, it's called Hong Kong and Taiwan. Besides that, Chinese DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about "free speech". Right now they pretty much enjoying the last days of summer travelling and having fun.
