I lived behind that firewall for two years and I can assure you that it is real. Things are just plain simply blocked and inaccessible.
But it is also true, that it acts also as "'panopticon' that encourages self-censorship". If you are threatened to go to prison for many years, then you will be careful what you are doing.
