  > What's a Chinese firewall? "The Great Firewall (GFW; simplified Chinese: 防火长城; traditional Chinese: 防火長城; pinyin: Fánghuǒ Chángchéng) is the combination of legislative actions and technologies enforced by the People's Republic of China to regulate the Internet domestically" [1]. (I don't think they mean a Chinese wall [2].)

    They’re called ethical walls now, for obvious reasons (although the room is still Chinese, for whatever distinction).

      No they aren't.
