Tech, World: Yo China, why are you blocking YouTube?

  • China’s Internet is open enough, but also needs to be regulated by law in order to prevent the spread of harmful information and for national security.
  • Qin Gang • A Chinese Foreign Ministry official, on the Internet, which he says they’re not scared of. Despite this, China blocked video-sharing site YouTube Monday night. Because Chinese people need to be protected from a capella singing of Animal Collective songs. • source

    Funny you should bring up animal songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKx1aenJK08

    It makes more sense if you can swear in Chinese, but the annotations will give you the gist. Really pissed off the Chinese censors, since they missed it.
