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.

    Dear China,
    Fuck you and your backward, stultifying Communist state!

    P.S. Do you have 4 trillion to loan us so we can extend our tax cuts?
