Class post!
As some of you may know, in the People's Republic of China, they have internet censorship. For those of you who may not, censorship means blocking certain things from someone or many people. This is what the People's Republic of China (PRC) has on their internet access. Some websites like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia, and WikiLeaks are censored in the PRC. These sites are blocked mainly because there is politically sensitive content on them. This means that there is information or there are pictures that go against the PRC's government or say bad things about the government. Other sites with content relating to the incident at Tiananmen Square, Taiwan's independence, pornography, and anything about democracy or the BBC. Also, if anything bad is posted about the government (or any other content that is not approved of) on an uncensored site, it will be erased within minutes. This censorship is applied in every city and town except for Hong Kong and Macau. Hopefully one day these sites will become unblocked, but for now they are still censored.
