A petition on the White House's website calls on the administration to block entry into China architects of the Great Firewall, the backbone of the Chinese regime's system of online censorship. (petitions.whitehouse.gov)
If the petition receives 100,000 signatures before Feb. 24, it will be guaranteed an answer by the White House. Whether the administration will act on it is another question.
Within two days of its establishment the petition appears to have received widespread support from Chinese netizens. A page at Github.com, linked to from the petition site, lists a number of the masterminds of Internet censorship in China, and the majority of the comments there are in Chinese. Github mostly hosted programming code and was reportedly blocked in China recently.
"Come on and sign it," one of the commenters implores. "Those scumbags will be nailed to the pillar of disgrace."
Another of the netizens posted the alleged home address, government identification number, and email address of Fang Bingxing, one of the chief architects of the notorious Great Firewall. Fang is generally loathed by Internet-savvy young Chinese. In 2011, he had a shoe thrown at him by a student—the sneaker struck Fang's chest—and the attacker became an Internet hero.
