Google is pulling out of China due to issues of censorship and hacking. China is striking back with very harsh accusations. The White house is demanding that China give its people unfettered access to the internet. Watch my Vlog on the subject for more...[posted above].
Something to note is that YouTube, which is owned by Google, has been banned in China for ~1 year now [so is Facebook...]. What is China so afraid of?
Around the globe, YouTube has become a metaphor for the democratizing power of the Internet and information. Is it that China is desperately afraid of letting their people have access to the 'real' internet? ...like the rest of the world?
Is this a real danger for the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] ? Perhaps if the CCP loses CONTROL of the people of China, they will also lose control of the country...(?). This is a major issue worth thinking about. Please leave a comment and let's have an open and lively 'conversation' about this subject.
Is it right for China to censor the internet and control what their people have access to? Is it right for China to only allow one state run media?
Are we, in the West, as free as we think we are? Is it true that Google is working with US Intelligence agencies? Is the time of privacy gone in America and the West as we knew it? These are important questions...
