A Pretty Normal Monologue: What About China!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that
re-imagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview
different guests about the topics they’re most passionate
about. This week I wanted to focus my monologue on something I
believe deserves a lot of attention and discussion. China continues
to build a virtual, cyber wall between their citizens and critics
in the outside world. The Chinese Communist Party is taking its
online censorship to a new extreme by blocking its people from
playing Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Many players have
taken to Animal Crossing to continue the Hong Kong
protests. The communist regime has noticed an authority vacuum
in online multiplayer games, which enables people to freely
socialize without monitoring. So new laws are being made.One-player
online games will also be subject to surveillance, as a new
real-name mechanism is going to be implemented in China. Also, the
new law will not allow for zombies and plagues, map editing,
roleplaying, as well as organizing a union in gamesListen to my
weekly monologue and let me know what you think about China and the
cyber wall they are creating. Monologue Research Links:China
