Post-Quake, China Cuts Access to Entertainment Web Sites

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-a-good-thing dept.

thefickler writes "The Chinese Government has issued orders that all entertainment web sites and regular television programming be shut down completely for the next 3 days. Only web sites covering the recent tragic 7.8 magnitude earthquake and television stations broadcasting CCTV earthquake programming will be allowed to remain live." Can anyone with Web access in China confirm this report? From an AP story on the state of communications in the country right now, it appears at least that China is (despite ongoing monitoring) allowing freer than usual communications in the wake of the quake.

    That's because you're a worthless loser who wishes desperately he could force his preferences on everyone else.

    And that's all you'll ever be.
