Internet censorship, like all censorship, can take multiple forms, from filtering and blocking content to monitoring and penalizing users who access certain content. Governments may both define what to block and implement the technological process of blocking, or they may create legislation, extra-legal incentives, or policy to compel "autonomous" technological firms to carry out the blocking and surveillance for them. 4, record 1, English, - Internet%20censorship

The renaming of the Central Committee for Comprehensive Management of Public Security to the Central Committee for Comprehensive Social Management might [be] indicative of the "new" approach to social management, one toward better intelligence and control tactics. The [Chinese] government combined [its] recent social safety net and the policing/censorship apparatus in an effort to create a system for preventing and managing social unrest. This trend suggests a more permanent phenomenon in Chinese control tactics than a reactionary and more reversible policy shift. 1, record 2, English, - Central%20Committee%20for%20Comprehensive%20Social%20Management

Le fait que le Comité central pour la gestion globale de la sécurité publique a été renommé le Comité central pour le contrôle global de la gestion sociale peut révéler l’adoption d’une «nouvelle» approche pour ce qui est de la gestion sociale, approche qui vise le recours à des tactiques améliorées en matière de renseignement et de contrôle. Le gouvernement a combiné son filet de sûreté sociale récent et ses instances chargées du maintien de l’ordre et de la censure dans un effort pour créer un système permettant de prévenir et de gérer les troubles sociaux. Cette tendance suggère l’existence d’un phénomène plus permanent au sein des tactiques de contrôle chinois qu’un simple changement réactionnaire, et davantage réversible sur le plan des politiques. 1, record 2, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20central%20pour%20le%20contr%C3%B4le%20global%20de%20la%20gestion%20sociale
