CHINA BANS YOUTUBE!

Protests break out in some nation around the globe and one of the first things a media-shy government does--just after sending in riot police--is pull the plug on YouTube.

The latest example is China's handling of protests in Tibet. The Chinese government has blocked access to YouTube in that country after scores of clips showing violence between police and protesters were posted to the site, according to hundreds of reports found on Google News.

The Chinese government has cracked down on international media coverage of the unrest in Tibet, blocking websites and censoring the local feeds of broadcasters including BBC World and CNN.

China's internet clampdown came over the weekend, following the outbreak of widespread unrest and violence in Tibet last week, and has hit websites including Yahoo, YouTube and Guardian.co.uk.

That's a paranoid communist dictatorship for you!

True, "Paranoid" is the word them mainland Chinese! They slowly acquired once independent nation "Tibet"

On the other hand everyone else must realize its not only in SL that media freedom is bad, and lets see how westerners take this..

Will they accuse CHINA also like they accuse us?
