Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that's often the only alternative.

    Nah. They don't know Google translate. Or Google, for that matter. They know what they are supposed to know.

    Of course some people know better, and those are the ones who will eventually get around the block - finding and installing a VPN is not rocket science, not even here. But if you keep 98% of the population contained, the rest won't reach critical mass.
