Naw, saw on the news how Google is planning to block porn links. Apparently it's active in China already and going to be worldwide soon, maybe, didn't read the whole thing though. They are going to "Search for skintones and pink". Fml.

PM, please.

 

 

 

Looks like the world is about to go censorship crazy.

Tea purists annoy me.

Can google censorship even come to the United States due to our first amendment. I don't see how they can get away with blocking this, it go's against the Constitution. Especially since they are a U.S. based company.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, I am annoyed by impatient people and people who don't listen.

I'm against censorship overall, don't get me wrong, but I really doubt porn is what was meant by "free speech" back in the 18th century.

One words text messages make me wanna do this. ----> :wall:

Let me get this straight. Because Google, a US based company, is limiting the services that it offers to it's customers by eliminating porn from their searches, you feel that you've lost your first amendmant rights.

 

 

 

Am I missing something here, or are you just a couple apples short of a batch?

Whether it was what they had in mind or not, the Constitution still outlaws it.

 

 

 

However, Google is not trying to put down the sites, just refuse to link to them. That much is perfectly legal.

Jeez, guys. You don't already have a favored site that you go to anyways? Not that big a deal is google wants to clean itself up a bit.

I could care less about the porn itself, I am just wondering if the Constitution applies to their decision. I guess since google is a company it has a right to decide what it's search engine links to. I didn't think long enough on the subject before posting.

Free speech is free speech. It doesn't matter of the original intention, it includes porn so it is protected from being censored.

People that litter, people that use plastic bags. Simple things you can do to make our world not such a dump

People who don't understand the first amendment. That annoys me.

 

 

 

Let's say you cuss out your boss, and they fire you? Freedom of speech right? No. The 1st only protects you from the government. In other words, they won't punish you if you speak out against them.

Where the heck did you read that from?!

 

 

 

Singapore has already banned a number of such sites. which really limits to what I can go to.

It really annoys me when I see a pube on a urinal. HOW DO THEY EVEN GET THERE??

People shed?

Do people even drink tea in Costa Rica ? :P

 

Either way, it's better. My way. The proper way.

 

 

 

Also, another thing that makes my blood [bleep]ing boil are people that chew gum like complete [bleep]ing jackasses. With the chewing cud movement of the mouth. The circular rotation of the jaw. And they think they look so cool. So [bleep]ing cool.

 

 

 

I'm annoyed at these people.

We aim to serve on this blog, so when a reader of my last post asked for some thoughts on the interesting stand-off between Google and China over web censorship, I set to work.

 

 

 

Or rather, I got in touch with an old friend who knows far more about this subject than I do. Quentin Sommerville, formerly a business correspondent in London, is now the BBC's Beijing correspondent.

 

 

 

Not only has he lived in China for the last four years, he's a very tech-savvy guy, and has plenty of knowledge of the workings of the Great Firewall of China.

 

 

 

So I sent him some questions - and he gave me some very useful answers.

 

 

 

Quentin, what exactly is going on with Google in China right now?

 

 

 

"On Wednesday night, Google's international and Chinese websites were unavailable in many parts of China. Gmail disappeared too. Service has now been restored, at least in some places. China's internet watchdog says that Google promotes porn; the state broadcaster CCTV on 18 June broadcast a report saying something similar."

 

Just a minute: I thought that those "don't do evil" folks from Mountain View had done a deal a few years back which meant that they could go on operating in China in return for censoring certain search terms?

 

 

 

"They did. If you search Google China for anything political or naughty, you get the following message:

 

 

 

"'According to the local laws and policy, part of the search results are not shown'

 

 

 

"Chinese internet users are even prevented from searching for the names of their leaders, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiaobao.

 

 

 

"Of course, there are plenty of Chinese search engines that link to porn. The suspicion among some internet users is that Google's rivals are using government connections to hobble their foreign competitor."

 

 

 

 

 

This is all part of a wider web crackdown in China, isn't it? What's this Green Dam carry-on all about?

 

 

 

"Ah, the Green Dam Youth Escort. It is net nanny software that has to be installed on every computer sold in China from 1 July. Beijing claims that the filter's primary aim is to block pornography, but it will also restrict access to sites that contain politically sensitive sites.

 

 

 

"The US says it might violate trade rules - in fact, everyone seems to hate it. Especially Chinese internet users. Even parts of the state media have come out against the software.

 

 

 

"The Green Dam appears to have been badly written, and parts of it may have been lifted from a rival US software filter. Those who have decoded it say that it will put computers at greater risk from hackers.

 

 

 

"Also, it works by looking for flesh tones as well as keywords, but has also been found to block sites which contain lots of the colour pink. I'm also reliably informed that it doesn't block pornography featuring dark-skinned performers."

 

 

 

 

 

Does this affect the way Chinese people can view bbc.com?

 

 

 

"BBC News in English is available in China, but our Chinese site remains blocked."

 

Now, I know that you, Quentin, are a fanatically heavy user of the web on every form of device - how are you finding surfing in China compared with in the UK?

 

 

 

"Despite the government's best efforts, the internet is a fairly vibrant place in China. Bloggers here often complain that we exaggerate the effect of the controls. Many users know how to circumvent the government's various firewalls and other blocks.

 

 

 

"Internet campaigns against cases of injustice or corruption are occurring more frequently, with some notable successes (perhaps that's why the government is so afraid).

 

 

 

"I find surfing okay here, although it drives me nuts when my iPhone automatically takes me to Google's Chinese site, rather than the international site - not much use for a journalist in China."

 

 

 

 

 

So there we are: some fascinating insights on the issue of web censorship in China. I find it always pays to go to an expert - and then pass off their knowledge as your own. So thanks, Quentin!

When my internet starts to do stupid things like:

 

 

 

Letting Skype work, showing my Gmail notifier in the system tray, but my browser doesn't work or even odder (like right now), no other website except Tif works :?

^Thanks for reminding me, that's another thing that annoys the hell out of me; all that anime japan/china crap.

 

:(

 

Yeah people who blatantly hate Japanese stuff for a not so good reason annoy me, too.

 

 

 

I do have a reason, it's sad, annoying and childish
