Chinese Internet Censorship Operation Revealed
Stony Stevenson passed on a link to an in-depth look at the Chinese government's massive censorship operation. Reporters Without Borders put together a report on the activities of the operation, with a primary focus on the censorship of internet access and participation. "Chinese supervisory bodies often use instant messaging and text messages sent via mobile phones to communicate quickly with commercial Web sites. The purpose is to tell them which articles or comments are not to be published, and which events or issues are taboo. The Beijing Internet Information Administrative Bureau holds weekly meetings with 19 of the leading Web sites based in the capital to evaluate the subjects that Internet users find most interesting that week."
That's the message I got when I first tried to view this post, for a second I was scared Slashdot also got a textmsg.

A Chinese fire drill...
Politics is Treachery, Religion is Brainwashing
Or news? Hmm...
Next up, research shows Stalin really just a misunderstood hermit who was abused by his father. Film at 11!
... txtmsg censors YOU!
Well if it was a joke, then yes it would have been lame. But it wasn't a joke (should be obvious because it was not funny), it was an observation on Slashdot's bugs/race conditions.
I would argue that you are a joke, but you are also not funny. You are possible even lame as hell.

I am shocked and appalled that the Chinese would stoop so low as to adopt censorship policies. Their long and proud history of freedom has been sorely tarnished by this scandal!
How dare you be so modest!! You conceited bastard!!
