I always find this type of censorship interesting. While their leader goes around saying how great and powerful they are, he prevents his people from having any outside information. Such a shame we still have countries that do this type of thing.

BTW forgot to mention that this is something I really like about internet : none can rule it....

Isn't that great?

For example in the X country the government can bury the truth for some subject and the media wont mention it...

But if someone decide to post it on a forum or a blog none can really stop him/her

Unfortunately, many who run forums and sites that talk about the truth live in fear for their life and are subject to almost daily attacks to bring down their sites.

That is correct, but still none can hide the truth over internet.

For example I don't think someone would be able to close a blogger web site Smiley

I have heard people complaining that their blogger site had disappeared and another appeared in it's place. Don't know how valid the complaints were, but I've seen several.

Strange.

Google is well known for non-cooperating with governments.

For instance here in Greece, the police asked google for information regarding an email that a criminal sent using gmail, and they denied to give them any information! And I know that this also happened with CIA or FBI.

don't think so in China they have some strong controls and also Google is one of the censors
