RE: The Great Digital Wall of China

in #internet6 years ago

Dear @juanmolina

China is an expert with building walls and one-way trade model. I loved visiting this country, however I feel sorry for all citizens who are completely under such a heavy and efficient control. With almost entire lack of access to worldwide news.

Sometimes Im wondering if it wouldn't be wise business model, to offer online marketing services on "our" social media sites to chinese businesses. They surely cannot know how to promote themselfs on "ours" platforms as well as we do.

Also this business model could work very well the other way around: to find forign businesses which would need exposure on Chinese social media platforms. I don't think that there are many companies in europe who could offer such a services.

Upvote on the way :)
Yours,
Piotr

I believe that in order to achieve this, companies would need to have important connections with the Government and conform to all regulatory and censorship requirements. As well as having a great knowledge of the current technological and social culture that involves a Semiological Compendium very difficult to understand for Western philosophy.

The larger social media platforms (e.g. Facebook) are already doing that. I personally know a friend working in Facebook whose job is to fly into China occasionally to get companies to buy advertisements on their platform. It's a huge source of revenue for Facebook.

So on the surface it may seem like these platforms are not accessible in China. They actually aren't 100% inaccessible

Wow! It´s a crazy.
