Google ceases China operations
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Task force/China
If Google were blocked in China again, this means a more difficult environments for the whole Internet industry in China.
- Last month, lots of rumors are there that the government would setup a white list of DNS, any website not in the white list are forbidden.
- They also setup a law that the ISP should take responsibility of the content which served by them; this law is a evil thing that a lots of small website were shut down only because one of them contains some sensitive information.
As a professional in IT industry, sometimes I can not image who made such stupid decisions. But the fact is the government do not think so.
Just as I said in the report, the tension between the regulation/censorship system and the public on Internet will continue in the new decade.
