Abusing institutional power to silence critics of genocide. That’s not a nice look.
A lot of the left always knew that academia and university were inherently political and not “pure truth” or “pure science” as people idealise them to be.
I hope those who would always argue that academia is pretty much perfect are now taking note.

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide | Common Dreams
Julia Conley
May 15, 2025"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

我们对中国七个不同城市和省份的测量表明河南省存在一个全新的地区性防火墙。这个河南防火墙对离开该省的流量实施基于 HTTP Host 和 TLS SNI 的审查。与 GFW 相比，它展现出独特的特征，包括独特的数据包注入行为和指纹、不同的连接追踪、解析和封锁逻辑、一个一度比GFW大十倍且更动态的封锁列表，以及更靠近客户端的网络位置。这种本地化的审查表明中国可能正在偏离其集中化的审查体系，允许地方当局在各自区域内施加更大程度的控制。

墙中之墙：中国地区性审查的兴起
我们研究了河南的省级防火墙，并将其与国家级的防火长城（GFW）进行了比较。河南防火墙对TLS SNI和HTTP Header进行审查，检查并阻止出省流量。虽然河南防火墙的技术复杂性和健壮性较低，但其激进的封锁策略让其一度封锁了十倍于GFW的域名数量。我们介绍了一些仅需客户端支持就能绕过河南网络审查的策略。我们的工作记录了一个令人担忧的迹象：中国正在出现区域性的网络审查。GFW Report
