China censors Obama during visit



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Go figure. Communist China censoring when the topic of discussion is free speech and no internet censorship. Let's hear it again for the IOC since they changed everything with the Olympics.

President Barack Obama prodded China about Internet censorship and free speech, but the message was not widely heard in China where his words were blocked online and shown on only one regional television channel.

China has more than 250 million Internet users and employs some of the world's tightest controls over what they see. The country is often criticized for its so-called "Great Firewall of China" — technology designed to prevent unwanted traffic from entering or leaving a network.
