YouTube Banned in China – Are we Ready to Admit there’s a War going on Yet?

China has blocked the user-driven content site, YouTube after YouTubers began posting videos of the weekend’s protests in Tibet.

According to Bloomberg:

The government is also censoring Web sites with references to Tibet, and Tibetan Internet cafes have been closed, the newspaper said, citing a Tibetan journalist the Telegraph said wanted to be identified as Lhuboom.

This morning, TXPoet wrote about the cyberwar that China has launched on the West, creatively hacking to “steal national security information, steal economic data, steal trade secrets and perform denial of service (DNS) attacks. (more).”

At what point do we admit we are at (cyber)war? Considering that having 3,000 of our people killed by Jihadists was not enough for the liberals in our nation to admit that we were in a war with Islam…it is unlikely that any loss of freedom online will bring about any such admission on the liberal-dominated internet. But their ignorance is not our bliss.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
