Kitajska zahteva registracijo online medijev

June 07th, 2005 * Comments(0)

Kdo bi si mislil da kljub pospešenemu odpiranju zunanjim vplivom na Kitajskem še vedno vlada obsedeno stanje glede kontroliranja medijev?!

 Reporters Without Borders poroèajo o zahtevi kitajskih oblasti da se vsi online mediji (še posebej blogi), ki gostujejo na kitajskih serverjih, registrirajo pri ustreznih organih.

A China-based blogger told Reporters Without Borders on condition of anonymity that the Shanghai police recently rendered his website inaccessible because it had not been registered. He then phoned the MII to ask what he had to do in order to register, and was told that in his case it was “not worth bothering” because “there was no chance of an independent blog getting permission to publish.

Rezultat bo seveda izolacija in selitev na tuje strežnike, ki pa so, zaradi uèinkovitega filtriranja, praktièno nedostopni kitajskim državljanom s èimer se namen mnogih neodvisnih (predvsem politièno orientiranih) blogov nekako iznièi.
