China to Censor The Blogs

Published On 30th June 2006 @ 13:01 In Internet | No Comments

A month ago, Google was [1] blocked and no Chinese could use the search engine. This was the last move by China to prevent information about delicate problems being accesed.

Now, they are going after your blog. With more than 37 million blogs and up to 60 millions blogs at the end of this year, citing a study by Beijing’s Tsinghua University, China will have a hard time inspecting all these blogs.

“As more and more illegal and unhealthy information spreads through the blog and search engine, we will take effective measures to put the BBS, blog and search engine under control,” said Cai Wu, director of the Information Office of China’s Cabinet, quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency.

The government will step up research on monitoring technology and issue “admittance standards” for blogs, the report said, without giving any details.

China encourages Internet use for business and education but tries to block access to obscene or subversive material. It has the world’s second-biggest population of Internet users after the United States, with 111 million people online.

Keep on restricting access to the information China, you are on the right path.
