These are just some of the websites that internet users in China are unable to reach because of government censorship, as translated into a graphic by [url=http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/what-does-china-censor-online/]Information Is Beautiful[/url]. More info is available [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/jan/15/information-beautiful-china-internet-censorship-google#]here[/url].[/quote] [img]http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/contributor/2010/1/15/1263568744924/Information-is-beautiful--001.jpg[/img] [quote]After Google announced it may stop censoring the internet in China, I became curious about what exactly that meant. What kind of censoring are they doing? How extensive is it? What can and can't you do online in the People's Republic. What does China censor online? Broadly speaking, most of the big social websites - Facebook, Twitter, YouTube - are all blocked. Many familiar sites, such as Wikipedia, remain but with entire sections or contentious pages disappeared by The Great Firewall. Porn is pretty much outlawed. Data in this area is difficult to come by. ConceptDoppler.org is a good source but most of the information dates back to 2008. Censored search terms and online materials often vary from region to region. Sites are routinely blocked and then unblocked, sometimes on a weekly basis. You can check it for yourself in this Google Doc. This is an ongoing investigation. If you have any data, or insights, or experiences of using the web in China, please comment below. [/quote]

china is communist
Also worldofwarcraft.com was cutoff for the red text.

Damn it Chantz [editline]09:40PM[/editline] And teh_cheese, stop breaking my automerge
The chinese government is fascist, not communist. The only thing that's even midly communist about them is their party name.
Apple.com is censored! :v:
The fuck Ebaumsworld Who gives such a shit about it to put it on such a poster That's smartly made, though
[QUOTE=i_speel_good;19806641]The fuck Ebaumsworld Who gives such a shit about it to put it on such a poster[/QUOTE] I was more amused that userfriendly.org is on there Apparently China censors shitty webcomics
Reading the COMMENTS ON THE ACTUAL SITE, MOST OF THIS SHIT ISN'T ACTUALLY BLOCKED. Bad image
They can't look up human rights.
How the fuck do they even do it? Anyhow, 2 years ago I managed to get into Aftonbladet.se and Addictinggames.com. So stupid to ban a flash game site.
[QUOTE=XD!;19806719]Reading the COMMENTS ON THE ACTUAL SITE, MOST OF THIS SHIT ISN'T ACTUALLY BLOCKED. Bad image[/QUOTE] I thought so. I think it is from the great wall of china website. Most of the sites worked when I was in China. Ebay works too, how else do you see Chinese sellers on ebay...
Some of those websites are shown twice.
I find it ironic the word "blocking" is blocked.
[QUOTE=TH89;19806677]Apparently China censors shitty webcomics[/QUOTE] i wish my ISP did that for me
[QUOTE=XD!;19806719]Reading the COMMENTS ON THE ACTUAL SITE, MOST OF THIS SHIT ISN'T ACTUALLY BLOCKED. Bad image[/QUOTE] What actual site? I read the comments on io9 and IIB and neither of them are particularly contradictory Chinese Agent Detected
[QUOTE=XD!;19806719]Reading the COMMENTS ON THE ACTUAL SITE, MOST OF THIS SHIT ISN'T ACTUALLY BLOCKED. Bad image[/QUOTE] Everyone knows China has thousands of people who just go around the internet discrediting things like this!
Now why would 4chan be blocked? It's a safe and fun website! /joke
Pure Pwnage? Addicting Games?
I feel sorry for Chinese internet users. Goddamn goverment
[QUOTE=archangel125;19806621]The chinese government is fascist, not communist. The only thing that's even midly communist about them is their party name.[/QUOTE] facism = communism, only difference is the economical system. Both sides committed genocides/massacres and censorship back in WW2.
[QUOTE=evilking1;19807414]facism = communism, only difference is the economical system. Both sides committed genocides/massacres and censorship back in WW2.[/QUOTE] you're dumb
At least they have playboy... EDIT-Oh I get it I thought the red sites were allowed...
Oh puhlease, I can highlight certain words to make shapes too! Jesus...
[QUOTE=evilking1;19807414]facism = communism, only difference is the economical system. Both sides committed genocides/massacres and censorship back in WW2.[/QUOTE] China is a Communist, Fascist state but correlation does not imply causation. [editline]05:40PM[/editline] Well actually China is a Pseudo-Communist, closet Capitalist state, but still.
