Is the Internet out of Control?

Something makes me feel like were soon to be following in China's footsteps..

China today shut down 60,000 porn sites & arrested 5,000 people !

China shuts 60,000 porn websites and arrests 5,000 people in internet clamp down | Mail Online

saying "it threatens the emotional health of children." ( i agree with them there)

But the reasons for them shutting down Facebook seem a bit odd -

"China has banned the use of social networking site Facebook, which it claims contains information harmful to its security"

They also have these banned from their country -

"YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, as well as Chinese content sharing sites."

I can see the pros and cons each way..

Control porn don't ban it. Make it harder to access not by simply turning off safe search. All these companies come out with parental controls and no one knows how to use them. Educate more people about this.



Also, china has always been strict with porn, porn in china must have no nudity or it must be blurred out. So it seems like they never liked it to begin with.

Banning youtube? Thats just strange to me.

Is that a rough estimate or did some fool actually count them all?

That's ridiculous...I mean what would us teenagers do! Get out the house? Psh.
