Chinese Government Takes Down Anti-Pollution Documentary "Under The Dome"
An anonymous reader writes with a link to BBC's report that [A]uthorities in China have removed from websites a popular documentary which highlights the country's severe pollution problem. Under the Dome explains the social and health costs of pollution, and was watched by more than 100 million people online, sparking debates. It was removed just two days after Premier Li Keqiang called pollution a blight on people's lives.
Searching YouTube gives you a pretty good idea of what the Chinese government doesn't want people to see.
I for one shall make a point to post as many links from my mobile devices as possible If only because it rustles the jimmies of crotchety old assholes like Zontar the Mindless, bearer of the most accurate nick ever. iGadgets are prevalent, and soon shall be the most common means to access web sites. Get used to it or get used to be ridiculed for being an clueless old fart too stupid to figure out how to use a "view standard version" link or to realize that most sites automatically redirect to the standard version when a desktop browser is detected, as the parent's link did.
