Quote by Ai Weiwei
Censorship is saying: Im the one who says the last sentence. Whate

Censorship is saying: Im the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine. But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper. – Ai Weiwei

Its just an argument thats made when you cant confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power. – Ai Weiwei
