China increases Internet control, takes down hundreds of websites

Under the new controls, more than 700 pornographic and copyright infringing websites have been shut down. Individuals have also been banned from registering domain names ending in .cn, which is now now limited to registered businesses in China.
"Not just film and video sites are affected. All websites owned by individuals will gradually exit the arena. All paths leading to a future have been blocked."
"They are basically improving their censorship mechanisms," she said.
Anybody surprised? No? Thought so. I seriously hope that's it only a matter of months or perhaps one or two years until large revolts start in China.
