How Is Pop. Culture Diffused
Facebook
Facebook is everywhere virtually except China and North Korea
China Banned Twitter, Facebook and Google
Only 1/3 population has Internet
China has copycat companies like Xiaonei which is a copy of Facebook now called Renren
These companies are successful because they follow government censorship
