Default [PCWorld] China to tighten grip on Twitter-style sites
http://www.pcworld.com/article/18158...yle_sites.html

Quote:
A Chinese government watchdog plans to push Twitter-style Web sites to censor their content, the country's latest move to block Internet users from posting certain politically sensitive information online.

The government-linked Internet Society of China plans to compose "self-discipline standards" for microblogging services, a group representative said in an e-mail. The representative declined to give details, but the group has released similar guidelines for other Web sites before. A document the group released for blog providers calls for them to delete "illegal or harmful information" as it appears on their sites, or simply to cease blog service for infringing users. Chinese authorities have used the term "harmful information" to describe online content including pornography and discussion of politically sensitive topics such as Falun Gong, a spiritual group banned in the country.

Twitter and Facebook have been blocked in all of China since July, when deadly ethnic riots in the country's western Xinjiang region led it to crack down on communication tools that could be used to gather people at a given location. Authorities also blocked all Internet service and text messaging in Xinjiang after the rioting, which state-run media say killed nearly 200 people.

"In order to do China, you have to be pragmatic when it comes to issues like free speech," Woon said. more...

Unfortunately for the Chinese people they do not enjoy those rights under their government's laws.

No, but their government is wrong. A government exists to serve its people, not vice versa. A lot of governments seem to have forgotten this lately.

I've love to see the States ban twitter... and what peoples reactions would be.

Just imagine Huge riots over twitter? Huge bloody crowds of people with bird signs.

I don't even use Twitter or have an account and I'd be in the streets over it. Just absurd. As I've heard said before, "I don't agree with what you're saying, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
