Beyond the Great Firewall: How and What China Censors - The Diplomat

"In fact, even some posts in support of CCP policies were targeted for censorship if they were likely to prompt collective action. Moreover, not all of the censored subject matters were even political in nature. Pornography, for instance, is one area of interest for censors."

Are coders worth it? – Web developer money

"It’s the combination of scarcity and wantedness that drives up a salary." HT @albertocairo
