China Keeps Censoring Google Applications
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.

Australia Is Going To Censor Internet.
The Australian government has agreed on filtering internet content from the people living in Australia. They join China who has been censoring their internet for a long time now and has created lots of controversy. The reason why Australia wants to censor its internet is because they had supplied Net Nanny to every consumer but were afraid that not everyone was using it correctly or using it at all. The content that they plan to censor are pornography, casino style internet gambling, hate speech and R rated computer games. The problem is that in the future they could add many other things to this filter and end up censoring a lot more, like unwanted media.
