News and Society > Politics > Internet is Evil Censorship in China

0 Reviews [ add review ], Article rating : 0.00, 0 votes. Author : Lance Winslow

While we attack companies like Nike for supposedly over working and under paying Chinese Citizens, we see in fact Nike has been a great Corporate Citizen compared to these citizen’s own Government. China has never embraced the Internet, but rather made sure incoming Internet Activity come thru government servers and then often blocking those website in the outside world. The Chinese Government wishes to censor their citizens on the Internet but is failing to keep out the flow of information.

Now they have tried another concept. Scaring people to prevent them from using the Internet and calling it “EVIL” and “Internet=Bad,” many are shocked by this strategy. China recently had a falling out with Microsoft, a company, which believes in the free flowing information to help poverty out of the $1.00 per day pay wages. Conquering the World’s digital divide is a noble effort indeed, however China wants no part of it.

The Chinese State Media Department has produced a movie, which uses the same arguments as the Uni-Bombers Manifesto as to why the Internet is evil and suggests that the citizens remain in the

real world not the evil Virtual Reality world of the Internet. The movie is called "Internet Teenagers," and it is now in movie theaters across China. The Chinese leadership is trying to keep the next generation under their control, although history and humans show that when you deny them something they want more and will find a way.

The Chinese Government is suspicious of the Internet and how such communication might change their society and contribute to the distrust of their power. There suspicions maybe somewhat correct and this movie promoting the Internet=Evil seems to say that Censorship=Good. The Chinese Government knows that outlawing Internet or keeping up with all the websites which might be attacking to the government thru filters will not work anymore. They hope they can cause self-censorship of the truth and prevent the next generation from over turning their control. The Internet=Evil, now that is questionable indeed. What do you think of Censorship Now?
