The Big [Censored] Theory
A case study on how the government censors TV in China.
Hasnain says:
This was a really detailed analysis and an interesting overview of how tv censorship is done in China. Cool application of software to a problem that wouldn’t have easily been solved without.
“Hong Kong-based journalist and author Nury Vittachi shared a similar experience in a New York Times opinion piece, describing that a crime story he co-wrote with a Chinese director had to be rejiggered multiple times, finally resulting in an “implausible tale” that involves noble detectives of Chinese origin in order to pass the authorities’ review.
“The rules kill creativity,” Vittachi added.”
