Uhm? Facebook is the first thing that non-Western countries will block for political reasons.

Why is this link downvoted? If it's due to your views on piracy, torrents shouldn't be any worse that the pirate Facebook stream.

Oh, not block for political reasons (some copyright issues apparently).

My friends in Hong Kong and Canada couldn't watch the official stream for some reason, and got some copyright page instead: https://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/s23e02-band-in-china

In Canada, The Comedy Network has exclusive rights to South Park (and several other Comedy Channel properties).

While most users in China don't have access to Facebook, it is still pretty cheap/easy† for Chinese citizens to buy access to a VPN that allows them to use services by Western companies (e.g. Facebook, Google, Twitter)
