Internet censorship - A good explanation of Internet censorship [VIDEO]

That is insane.

I was watching this. Then. I lost connection. God. For a second I freaked that the government was not letting me watch this video. Turns out I disconnected my router.

Oh, isn’t Australia going to be in good company then? Bloody stupid proposed net filter *continues to mumble irritably under breath*

Also keep in mind, however, that while these American websites may be aiding the filtering, they stand to lose a great deal of the market share should the choose to deny the Chinese Government the ability to filter results. With the population of China alone, if websites like Google and Microsoft denied governments, they themselves would be filtered, denying them potential profit. Although it may not align with their political beliefs, it is hard to turn down the financial gain of that many people.

I am from Germany and its not true that websites about holocaust are blocked only pro nazi websites that are glorifying them but i think it is part of history and should not be forgotten so it would not happen again. There are some videos i cant watch on youtube i was abled to watch before which had nothing to do with pro nazi propaganda at all. Maybe they are blocking stupid contents too. XD

Music too loud. Covers narrator’s voice.

So, someone is mad at google or microsoft for creating filters? What? If that’s not correct, disregard the rest of this comment.

Filters are not good or bad, and google or microsoft are not bad for making them. They’re just a product. The same product can be used to reduce spam. Just because a corrupt government uses something in a “bad” way, you can’t hold the makers of the product responsible for this.

Uh, how is this a good explanation of anything? It’s just some hipster dude mumbling facts and statistics underneath some obnoxious music with some minimalist graphics thrown in.
