Title: A Sanctuary For Banned Books In Hong Kong

Information wants to be free, so the saying goes, and in China's repressive media environment, millions still manage to circumvent government censorship to access sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Subverting the so-called "Great Firewall" can be as easy as paying for a virtual private network (VPN) service, and once past the firewall, Chinese internet users are free to check out whatever forbidden websites they want. They can even download banned books on bannedbook.org, which, tellingly, only has a Chinese-language version.
