Reminds me a little of this quote.


Quote:

In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a
Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade
unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Not that I wish to trivialise what happened in Germany by somehow equating it to the blocking of
websites here in China, but more to illustrate the importance of speaking up and doing something
before it's too late.

What I find interesting is how many newssites gets blocked with barely anybody noticing, but once
they block youtube, there's a big uproar. Reminds me of the joke with the cannibals at Microsoft,
that eat a programmer everyday and nobody notices until they accidently eat one of the cleaning
staff...

Youtube is blocked - presumable due to content that the censors don't like - but porntube is still
accessible. Go figure.

I'm actually surprised at the youtube block and think there is more to it than simple censorship.
Google owns youtube. Google has a history of cooperating with the Chinese to get it's products
(like search) into the market place. I hardly think google would let one of it's flagship products
get blocked without making a fuss over it. So I expect Google to make changes and get youtube - in
some form - back into china.

I think this is a commercial negotiating trick to get google to do something. Or to make space in
the marketplace for China to do something. Look out for the imminent launch of baidutube.

Btw, if you still can't get to youtube, try to download wujie. It works at least to parts of users.

They already sort of did. Remember there is a website called, Youqu dot com. It sucks because it's
not international. No offense but Youqu is just copying the name Youtube.
China should be sued for that.
