5.12.02 Censorship in the network is more effective than China
China has the censorship system in the network more effectively. This is what claims a study developed by researchers at the Harvard Law School , who quantified in 19,000 sites denied to users of the People's Republic, all considered dangerous by the government. The data obtained by testing the access to different places around the country highlight the blocks against topical content such as news, political and religious, along with some entertainment and educational sites. The 46 million Chinese users were thus deprived of sources necessary for a plurality of information, even if the government allows the use of the network for commercial, cultural and entertainment, which are crucial in the economic globalization. Methods to circumvent censorship there are, but those who use them usually either very determined or technically sufficient information (see Worked around the great firewall of China. ). According to researchers at Harvard University, paradoxically, the internet can be easier to control other media. Check In fact, the e-mail or telephone communication is impossible to achieve for all citizens, while the state controls for internet routers in the national backbone, and acting on this will block most of the accesses. After the crackdown on cybercafe last year (see China closes 17,488 NetCafe. ) all the major sites of Tibet and Taiwan were included in the 'black list', as well as those of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The rulers have given as a public apology to stemming the proliferation of pornography, but according to that undertaken by the researchers, only 15 percent of the more sexually explicit sites is blocked, while in Saudi Arabia it can obscure the 86 percent.
