Chinese artist Ai Weiwei had set up four live webcams at his home to show his daily life, include one filming him while he sleeps, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his detention and encourage more transparency from all sides. Last year, Ai was held for three months during a crackdown on dissent and was subsequently fined 15 million yuan ($2.4 million) for alleged tax evasion, which he denies. The live streaming TUREMAN show had been viewed around 5.2 million times in two days, and Chinese authorities have ordered him to shut down the live webcams without any reason …
Hundreds of Chinese government websites were hacked by the international hacking group Anonymous, details like phone numbers and email address were leaked and being published on ‘Anonymous China‘ Twitter account in the late March. The Chinese official has denied their sites were hacked, but apparently the hacking group is more believable.This massive hacks seem to be a new push into China, the group also invited hackers from all over the world to join their force, to fight for justice!
Reports are coming in of a fatal crash in Beijing involving a Ferrari crashed into a bridge, killing the driver, and severely injuring two female passengers. Apparently the crash has led to widespread speculation over the identity of the driver when searches for the word “Ferrari” were suddenly blocked on Chinese social media sites. So why on Earth is the Chinese government censoring the word “Ferrari” from Internet search?
If you’re like most people living in China, you’re annoyed by China’s censorship machine. Google is also annoyed by China’s censorship system, and considering how the search giant chose to end censorship of search results two years ago, we believe Google is very pissed with China. Today, what more could Google do in China? Well, Daniel Alegre, president of Google’s Asia-Pacific operations said that the company’s momentum in China will largely be spurred by its “non-sensitive” advertising business on the mobile and desktop. And Google’s business in China is growing…
China is famously known for its excessive censorship of the Internet, has been temporarily lifted its great firewall because of the Golf World Cup. Golfers, caddies, journalists and fans at the five-star Mission Hills golf complex in Hainan can get access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. All thanks to the Hong Kong brothers.
As we all know, many western internet companies especially Google, were unable to access into China due to censorship issue. And this is making China grow like a massive intranet and isolating itself from the rest of the world. The U.S. official is now pressing China to explain why its “national firewall” blocks so many U.S. companies from providing their services via the Internet.
Sina Weibo, the most popular Twitter-like service in China, recently announced their platform had reached up to 250 million users and also declared the company formed a special team to ‘control rumor’ spreading across its platform. The team aimed to crack down any false rumors as well as to help government with crackdown activity. We are curious of how many human resource does Sina need to use in order to control rumor? How does the team judge the credibility of rumors? Well, let see what the director of the team (Tan Chao) said.
We believe this is going to become ugly and evil ! China’s major technology firms are supporting China’s Communist Party in its mission to intensify controls of social media and are pledging to stop the spread of false rumors on the Internet. Various top executives including Baidu’s Robin Li, Alibaba’s Jack Ma and Tencent’s Pony Ma have attended the three-day conference during last weekend, which hosted by the State Internet Information Office. China’s Internet companies and operators reached a common agreement that they would safeguard the broadcasting of positive messages and curb the spread of illegal information on the Internet …
The dissident Chinese Artists Ai Weiwei had showed up across international news headline since he was arrested and detained without charge by the Chinese government for 81-days. Ai was released by the government but still carrying an accusation of $2.4m tax evasion that had to be paid within 15 days. From now on, he still got about 10 days to collect the fund. If he didn’t pay the penalty, his wife could go to jail. The incident drew lot of his supporters to give out helping hands.
