China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches

Posted by Soulskill on from the par-for-the-course dept.

1 a bee writes "CNN is reporting that China is attempting to block all communication regarding Peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo. Even texting is affected: 'Text-messaging on mobile phones is not immune from censors, either. A Shanghai-based netizen, @littley, tweeted his unfortunate experience: "My SIM card just got de-activated, turning my iPhone to an iPod touch after I texted my dad about Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize."' Might as well add Slashdot to the censored list." Further coverage is available from NBC.

    Proud product of the American Education System, huh?

    "Your point" consists of nothing more than your own blinkered set of biases. You think that your opinion is the same as fact. Grow up.
