Cool USpoliticsonline from China

is starting to be censored

this thread, I don't understand why

Some pages don't work "connexion is reset" and quite instantanetly, rather than a few seconds of the usual dowload of the page

The censorship is quite sneeky, because once you have "connexion is reset" it will do it for the whole website for a minute, then it will come back They are trying to make it look like a technial problem, that's how it works censorship in China

I guess, pretty soon, I won't have access to the website, so if you don't see me around any more, you'll know why lol

If you hate me, don't type the words: free tibet, dalai lama, tiananmen, etc... oops, I just did it

Kind of funny

Someone is ringing at the door, I gotta run! Maybe they will waterboard me I won't talk

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

Interesting. I guess China is cracking down for the Olympics. I hope there are a lot of non violent demonstrations during the event.

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

I was wondering how long it would take.


Sad.

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

if this is true, its is just an abject lessen in free speech some here and in other free thinking societies take for granted.

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

I heard in the news that China may not allow live tapings.

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

I'm sorry, Anselme. That stinks, but is not surprising. I wonder how the Olympics committee is dealing with this tidbit of increasing censorship?

(It must be the influence of Zionists.)

Re: USpoliticsonline from China

Well, as long as order is being maintained, censorship is good!

Anselme, indeed the censors are quite crafty. During my trips in China I never can open the bbc news website or some google forums. I was able to check on some Chinese cities in Wikipedia, but that connection was terminated after a few minutes. They really seem to follow-up continuously.

If their tech sector is so occupied with ad-hoc censorship of the internet, it distracts them from economically productive endeavors.

Free Tibet!...... Hu Jintao has a small yînjîng!!!

They still seem to have plenty of manpower and bandwidth to hack the Pentagon.
