Their censorship is entirely for political reasons. This kind censorship is just one aspect of everything that happens. Encourage censorship at one level for instance porn, it leads to other kind of censorship without end. Too many dictators have come and gone completely ignorant about what people need. All that people know is propaganda and absolute lies that is the result of censorship. It starts with regulating then it becomes complete censorship. Many people in the West are very happy that child porn is censored and those who view and download it are being punished. What these gullible people do not realise is that this is just the beginning. More porn websites will be censored. Once the government is given the right and power to censor, it will censor everything. The day when news items exposing scandals and atrocities will be censored, they will begin to realise that will one day become victims the Internet will not save them nor will any other form of media. Imagine if the Internet existed before the US Civil Rights movement no black person would ever be allowed to own a website, because it would exclusively for the White people. Martin Luther King would be jail if his speech was published on the Internet; but he made his speech without the help of the Internet and the world listened. If it was entirely on the Internet, all the people who viewed his speech on the Internet and downloaded it into their computers would be considered a crime. because it would be illegal to sympathise with the Black people and their values. Censorship is the most dangerous weapon of all in the hands of the government. AP reported the death of US soldier, the US military was enraged with AP for presenting information not controlled by them. The rise of censorship in the USA will lead to massive arrests of 'undesirable' people. From a democracy, the USA will become a dictatorship. Censorship instead of saving the dictators from their inevitable downfall, has contributed to the end of their regime, because never knew what is going and what people think.
