Where there is already internet censorship

Info

The amount of information and news that can currently be found on the topic of Internet censorship in China is much more numerous than in other countries presented. 

One of the reasons for this is probably that China is currently the focus of global economic interest. The first email was sent to Germany in 1987. 

In 1994, the responsible authorities received permission to set up the Internet in China and connect it to the worldwide network that was already in existence at the time. 

In 1996 the first censorship regulations for the Internet were issued. So forums, guest books, one or the other job exchangeetc. ransacked for illegal content. 

Much like the country's economic growth, the number of Internet users has also exploded since then. The agency responsible for the Internet, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), in its annual report, recorded an increase in Internet users from 630,000 in 1997 to 137 million by the end of 2006.

Despite this enormous increase Number of users, China is said to be one of the few countries that know how to protect its population from "harmful content". 

However, this method also has disadvantages: some pages are not found on the Internet, for example, an online job search would make it difficult.

 The ROF sees the secret of success in a clever mix of filtering techniques, suppression, and good diplomacy. 

Chinese Internet users feel threatened by additional espionage and logging methods, as well as severe legal consequences, which often results in self-imposed censorship. 

In China, 62 people are currently imprisoned for online publications that violate censorship laws. The range of blocked content is similar to that of Saudi Arabia.

The 2005 OpenNet Initiative report on China's Internet Filtering found efforts to prevent access to content containing political, pornographic, and religious material. 

Examples of blocked sites include information about the Dalai Lama, the Tian'anmen massacre, and anti-communist movements. ONI is also impressed by the dominant, well-thought-out, and effective form of the Chinese internet censorship system. 

The consequences of distorted access to information for Chinese Internet users are profound and worrying. The success of the “Great Firewall of China” is due, among other things, to the support of Western companies such as search engine providers, which in some cases have had to face massive criticism. 

Google, As the most used search engine provider in the world, whose motto is “Don't be angry”, the Chinese version of Google (google.cn) is self-censored, just like MSN and Yahoo, which conform to the guidelines of the communist party. 

This support of censorship is the prerequisite for the search engine providers to be allowed to operate in the Chinese market at all, and thus to leave the chance open to get something from the big money pie in booming China.
