Has anyone noticed an interesting correlation between recent protests
in China for democracy and WorldNet.

It seems that one of the concrete components of what the students are
asking for is freedom of speech, specifically: the ability to post
"Large Character" posters on walls of highly emotional content (read
"flaming"). These "Large Character" posters gather large crowds who
spread their contents via the human grapevine. There is no other media
that is freely open for public flaming. They even seem to have a
variant of the same "anonymous" issue that occurs in our electified
digests and mailing lists.
