31Jul IOC Admits Deal with China’s Internet Censorship
Nick Mulvenney reported that International Olympic Committee (IOC) supports China to block sensitive websites. This deal is disclosed by a senior IOC official on Wednesday. Although China promised the media that they will be given freedom like the previous Olympics, journalists still find it difficult to access to sensitive sites. China’s cencorship approach was believed mainly due to Tibet security problem. Not only websites are banned by the communist Government, cars are not allowed to appear in nearby provinces to reduce the air pollution.
