Google recently confirmed that their famous video site, Youtube.com has been blocked by China. No explanations were given by the Google company that why China blocked access to youtube site.
Google company's spokesman, Scott said that "Youtube was blocked by China from Yesturday itself, we are waiting to hear from Chinses authorities as to why they have blocked access to the site to Chinese users".
China is a very strict country in terms of law and this is not the first time they have blocked a web portal, in many recent cases they have blocked porn sites, gambling sites and other offensive sites to protect public interest and minors.
A spokesperson from Google.ch ( Google China ) stated that they have no clue as to why youtube was being blocked by China.
Months later , Youtube published a video where Chinese policemen were foud beating to death a pro-Tibet demonstrator near Lhasa. There were some other videos shown on Youtube site which were totally againts the Chinese government and confidential.
China has asked its ISP's to block Google.com search from accessing. The reason behind this bold step is that, the country, China has warned Google twice to stop showing illegal content such as porn, casino and other offensive sites to its chinese users, but still Chinsese people are easily accessing porn sites and other illegal contents.
Asked Google.ch, they said we have already blocked access to illegal sites to Chinese people but we can't stop them from accessing it through Google.com that is US search data base. Chinese people can easily switch to Google.com (US english version) from Google.ch( Chinese version). According to some news source China has already blocked whole of Google search from accessing to its chinese citizens.
Chinese government is very strict when comes to rules and regulations and they now want to curb web too in order to protect minors and families. "Is that a good sign for web companies"? I think a big NO. The big news is also flowing in that US government has asked its software making firms to build a computer software which blocks gambling and porn sites by default and Microsoft is proceeding towards that goal. This is
totally messedup....
