China pulls plug on YouTube after Tibet riots
Found on The Inquirer on Saturday, 15 March 2008
China blocked YouTube today, after videos were posted showing the protests in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa on Friday, against the ongoing Chinese occupation.
On Saturday, the first images appeared online, along with video streamed foreign news reports, photos, and commentary. But today, any of China's 210 million Internet users who try to access the popular U.S based video site will only get a blank screen.
Chinese censors have been busy rushing around trying to remove the politically motivated comments wherever they are found.
Just let go of Tibet and quit trying to control your citizens. Nobody will accept you as a true superior nation if you keep on behaving like a dictator.
