Faceblocked

China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Centre (CIIRC) is cracking down on websites available to internet users in China day by day. "The CIIRC is mainly focused on contents harmful to the healthy growth of minors, such as obscenity and pornography, gambling, violence, terror, criminal abetting, and contents that spread ethnic hatred, libelling and insulting, violating the others' rights, and violating intellectual property rights" (CIIRC). This great firewall is growing exponentially, blocking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, which is believed to have been conducted to protect domestic competition. 




What do you think?  How do you think people who have family abroad would feel about something like this?
