China Bans YouTube

*Cryolysis:iconCryolysis: reports, March 25

-----
Do you ever wonder what life would be like without your daily "needs"? Imagine, one day, you're logging onto deviantart.com, and you wonder why your connection keeps getting lost, why you are unable to logon. Then, you discover that your country has blocked the website completely.

This is what it's like in China, and, there is no need for such behaviour. Something needs to be done about this, but what needs to be done? Who is going to do something? Do other nations need to find a diplomatic solution in regards to this? Is it even worth it? Or do the people of China need to fight for more freedom?

I understand that it's a very confusing situation, but it enrages me to find that a whole country can do such things. I don't live a day without realising the freedoms I have, and how grateful I am that I am given these freedoms. This may not be a 'news' article, but it surely stands as an 'eye opener' for those who do not engage in the reading of world news.

I hope everyone reads this, and realises that we need something more out of everyone's life, where human beings are expected to have a code of ethics and harmony to others, and that is something that is just not in regards to this article, but to everything that surrounds you. I think being compassionate towards others will lead to something better, something no one has ever had, ever.

Considering how oppressive China's internet laws are, I'm not surprised.

Where will they get their fix of stupid people hurting themselves? This is a travesty.

It's that terrifying place where loneliness itself will make her forget how to smile...
:iconfellpool-light:
China believes that it can have complete control over its people by censoring anything that it sees as a threat. I'm not sure how youtube could be seen as a threat, though. China is quickly developing into a prosporous nation and they don't want their people to think of anything that could distract them from continuing development.

:iconmikezadopec:
Sign Up for Underground YouTube; that will soon be an out-cry in China, I'm sure.
If we look back in history we can see some eras in music being called revolutions or invasions or simply avant-garde.
Those are words China wants to keep out of the thoughts of It's people whether it about music or politics or whatever.
Heaven forbid China could have a society of free thinkers that might push boundaries and freedoms, so tank YouTube.
