GeoBlock.net — tool to check country censorship
Hi,
I've made a tool called GeoBlock.net that checks if specific URL is banned / censored in a particular country.
Requests are made from home / mobile users and should be accurate :) Please let me know if this tool is useful for you.
Next step is adding automated monitoring so you would get an alert if website became unreachable in some part of the world.
Thanks!

Surprisingly frank answer from Alibaba's Qwen2.5 re: atrocities committed by US & China last 100 years
I didn't expect this to stay up after it answered, unlike my direct question about the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident, which it answered in detail and then promptly deleted.

Do transparency bills like this actually fix censorship?
I’ve been thinking a lot about this new bill Senator Eric Schmitt proposed, the one about forcing federal agencies to report any deals or collusion with social media companies. It sounds great on paper, right? Transparency is good, sure.
But I can’t help feeling like these moves don’t address the deeper problem. Even if the government stops meddling, isn’t social media still a centralized system that controls what we see? algorithms bury what doesn’t serve their goals, and we don’t even know who’s pulling the strings most of the time. It’s like fixing a leaky pipe but ignoring the fact that the whole house is flooded.
Honestly I don’t know if i am being cynical, or are we just slapping Band-Aids on bigger problems here? I’d love to hear if anyone else feels the same, or if I’m missing the point entirely.
