BEIJING (AP) — China is requiring personal computers sold in the country to carry software that blocks online pornography and other Web sites, potentially giving one of the world's most sophisticated censorship regimes even more control over the Internet.

just when you thought the situation in China couldn't get any worse then you see something like this and it just makes you shake your head

I am just happy I can assemble a PC myself.

Fuck brand name PCs

This is the sort of thing that makes me glad that my ancestors had the sense to get the fuck out of this backwards country. I mean, the porn isn't important but just the simple restriction at this kind of level is absurd.

The only result I foresee is strengthening the market for prostitution.

How would you like to sign into a national database to play online games, and if they feel you have been on too long, you will be logged out automatically until they allow you to play again?

Nope, that's not from a crazy fictional story, or a "plan"... that's how it is right now.

I dont think they log you out, but prevent you from leveling up.

Which is even worse, like jerking off without the happy ending

Maybe this is their way of controlling the overpopulation...clearly it's not working.

[twitchyzero]

^ i think if they want to decrease overpopulation..they'd allow more porn?

[q0192837465]

just build your own computer/format the computer u bought & use pirated windows. Problem solved

[AVS_Racing]

[skyxx]

Porn is Propaganda!!!

[m4k4v4li]

hey maybe if we publish enough of these articles day in day out and blow it up ten fold people might start believing its a lot worse than it is

we can do it without making it seem like we're influencing their opinion either!

GREAT SUCCESS


lol manufacturers won't adhere to this... people aren't gonna buy that shit
not gonna be able to regulate that worth SHIT

weird.... ive surfed porn and used social networking sites on multiple PCs in a few different provinces in China and have never been censored, ever. Ive even surfed porn in beijing on my grandparents PC - both who were imprisoned for being "capitalists" and sent to the country side to be re-educated during the cultural revolution. this was 2 years ago, and no gov't officials have been knocking on their door.

but I can't google images tian an men square massacre

my uncle facebooks me all the time off his iphone

i must be brainwashed, probably seeing things

you guys complain about all the crazy pro-china motherfuckers that post stupid shit, but look at this thread
where are they? lol they've all stopped posting because they're too lazy to try and convey something half of you will never understand, you'd be suprised at some of the members who have messaged me. you think they're annoying? lol theres at least a thread like this every week with all of you looking to start shit, now THATS annoying

[StylinRed]

i actually think its a good idea; they should cut out the pornographic situations in their tv shows though which are quite shocking btw (the thought that its aired on tv)

i think this just shows the cultural differences between the west and east and to react negatively towards them is expected (as seen by muslim women wearing scarves and the wests reaction) but doesn't make it right... just accept that values are different across the globe and there's no reason that your values are better or worse than anothers...

[slammer111]

Why buy pr0n in China when you can just get the real thing.. and the government turns a blind eye. Hookers are freaking EVERYWHERE down there.

[.Renn.Sport]

They actually banned underwear commercials last year

the push up bra commercial is still on like 24/7

[.Renn.Sport]

+1 Maybe they're trying to boost the local economy! :thumbsup:

prostitution is already the main economy for dongguang area after the finacial tsunami where 70% of the factories in that area closed down!!

they even have draws for prizes to attract more ppl to go there. my frd won $1000 coupon to use on the girls LOL....:haha:

[SkinnyPupp]

the push up bra commercial is still on like 24/7
LOL I know which one you're talking about :lol

Love it when they bring her husband and child on stage to talk about her push up bra. I have no idea wtf they are saying, but it's still funny as hell for me.

[Zyzz]

thats just fucking retarded

the first thing chinese kids learn when using the computer is hacking it.

[Nightwalker]

blocks online pornography and other Web sites

Wonder what else they block. It probably updates regularly with new things to block. The hosting company I work at is blocked in China, we have complaints about it once in a while from Chinese members.

[Poonpee]

Panda got more rights than china ppl haha
The Zoo will be packed with horny ppl trying to watch porn hahahaha

[.Renn.Sport]

using VPN will get around of any of the censorship, I can get decent ADSL speed with my 100mb direct cat5e at the factory connected to hk's PCCW 100mb fiber line via VPN.

the best thing is that the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 wiki in english is not blocked at all LOL they only blocked the chinese translation versions.

[buddy]

besides porn sites, this software can block web sites that the government think are not suitable for the public too ..

[dark0821]

lol.. wow.. i was just talkin to my friend in china abt this.. they are like.. its ok.. they are use to it -.-

[Adsdeman]

Well shit y dont u slap them with a wet fish in the face while ur at it!! That is retarded, who the fuck do the china government think they are. No freedoms, its retarded. They should riot thats what i would do!!

[.Renn.Sport]

They should riot thats what i would do!!

ROFL.

very nice advertisement

[wouwou]

A majority of the internet user is hailing the success and convenience of the filter software that was pre-installed on the computers.

This is coming from the realization that people can pull the database of websites which the software blocks, so everyone who is interested in porn can have a list of the most popular porn sites.



I seriously hope the States can do the same, it is god damned difficult to keep up with all the porn sites coming up everyday lol

You know what's funny? The guys that tend to defend China tooth and nail in those threads are often the first ones to post crap in the anti-USA threads. Tit for tat.
