China Tightens Rules For Educational BBSs

Posted by Zonk on from the appreciate-your-right-to-complain dept.

An anonymous reader writes "China is tightening control over online BBS run by colleges and universities. Educational institutions in China have received direct orders from the Chinese Ministry of Education requiring their BBSs to take actions including access limitation and registering users by their real identities, as well as strict content censorship. The admin team of the BBS of Nanjing University has refused to obey the order and has been dismissed."

    How long until civil war breaks out in China? I can't imagine living in an environment where censorship is the blatant norm.

    Use your power and vote the current government out. Send a message to the politicians that you will not be censored!

    What, oh, it's China, not the US?

    My Bad.

    FUCK China. Fuck them in their stupid asses. The government is so full of shit it's coming out their noses. Say what you want about Bush & Co. or our whole "democracy", but would you trade it for China's dictatorship?
