The great video shutdown of China
Following the recent unrest in Tibet, Chinese authorities have banned (via) 25 websites, from providing audio and video services and issued warnings to a further 32.
They were punished for broadcasting obscene, fear-inspiring or violent content or programs that might endanger national security and interests, or for offering such services without the required qualifications or certificates, the circular said.
The cases of five others, which had no qualifications to provide audio and video services on-line but still did so, were transferred to telecommunications authorities.
