china blocked youtube

The Internet is probably the only place where the Chinese can say or write what they want. But a report says that China’s Internet is one of the most controlled in the world.
The government forbids foreign websites most of the time. Last week it banned YouTube because it showed policemen who beat Tibetan monks. The government also puts website owners into prison if they don’t publish what they want.
Not all websites can be blocked. If the government closes down 10 of them 20 other pop up somewhere else.
On the one side normal people are happy that they can read and post lots of things on the net, on the other side there are many who are angry that the government controls it too much. A lot of good information never makes it online.
