Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship

chowbok writes: "The Weekly Standard writes that despite expectations, the Chinese Government has been very successful in suppressing free internet access for their citizens. Key to this success was the assistance of Cisco, who built a giant firewall tailored to the state's needs, Yahoo (who helpfully censors search results and monitors online chats), and other Western companies."

    Right, it's like I've been saying all along.

    First let it be said now, last night's episode of Futurama featured Pizzicato Five's "Baby Love Child", officially making it the only Futurama episode ever worth watching, unless you are a faggay and like watching homofaggay showz and making gaylove in the butt. And the Chinese know this.

    At this point in my post I would like to direct everyone's attention to another one of Timmahs' faggoty article-posting mistakes. If he never fixes it, it will be archived for all of eternity on slashdot's servers with his glaring mistake easily visible by viewing the source of this page.

    This is not the first time this has happened. First the violent videogame story then the Mozilla timeline story. WHAT AN INCOMPETANT SLASHFAG, a whole day later and HE HASN'T NOTICED HIS OWN MISTAKE.

    So declarez Donny Most, TV's beloved Ralph Malph Alpha of Happy Dayz fame. Propz to all dead Joanie, A CHA CHA I GOT IT I STILL GOT IT.

    P.S. If anyone is disgusted by my posting style, then to Timmah I say (to quote a famous american anti-drug commercial where a son is speaking to his father): I LEARNED IT FROm WATCHING YOU.

      *Ahem*, This isn't the first post, as I'm sure you may have noticed. Also, why are you using profantiy? I'm hopeful that the Moderator will catch your feeble mind trying to express itself forcefully.

    I must say, I do like the asian ladies you link to on your site. Lately, though, the site has been kind of... well, off. It's not as enjoyable.... I don't want to see people peeing on eachother, or huge fat hairly black women with no legs or hands. Clean it up!

    I just heard the sad news on BBC radio. Web entreprenuer/pioneer Porno Pete was found dead in his home this morning. Even if you never admired his work, you can appreciate what he did for the 'last frontier' of the internet.
    Reports are that he died from complications resulting from "No More Pr0n in China". Truly a internet icon. He will be missed :(

    Nothing is being censored. Am I the only person with a clue?

    Beleive it or not, denying web access is not some violation of your rights as a person.

    Web access is a _privelege_, grow up.

    Censorship would be like the Communications Decency Act which tried to censor freedom of expression on the web. Mind you, freedom to speak does not mean you will be heard.

    "The average Chinese citizen does not want your revolution. They want orderly, nonviolent change."

    Yeah, but how does that gloriously reaffirm the righteousness of the USA and give us high moral ground as the pioneers of freedom? Really, citizen, I'm beginning to question your unflagging patriotism. Are you a terrorist?
