China has the great firewall, the EU tried something similar under the "think of the children" excuse, which promptly failed.

Also a lot of people speaking out against China had to find out the hard way what some western companies will do when you speak out against a cash cow that will happily kick them out if its rules are enforced.




A firewall is not the only way to enforce this I'd guess. If I open a shop in China and do business here I might have to comply with local laws.
