China Keeps Censoring Google Applications

June 24, 2009 · Filed Under Politics, Tech 

China has been known lately for censoring all sort of things in China, adding slowly things like certain keywords and YouTube. Recently it was just known that now China has censored more Google Applications such as GMail, Picasa, Google Images, etc. TechCrunch is reporting that Facebook and Twitter and other web services are still working in China but the way things are going they will probably be added to the list of things to be censored.

In my opinion companies need to start standing up to Chinas censorship and stop agreeing to their demands of helping them censor everyone in China.

UPDATE: It seems that everything got back to “normal” at around 6pm yesterday.

    That is an evil and impudent govenment in this world besides North Korea.I really hate this party that is governing this country and it has been devastating this beautiful land for 60 years. This shameless party says all kinds of crap to cheat common people so they just want to get google out of this country because many educated people can find truth by google.I cannot say anything more beacause maybe someday maybe tommorrow a secret police would stand out of my door and take me to prison or this site would not be able to be browsed in this country forever.
