internet - ISP's crack down on weblogs
Shanghai blogger Wang Jianshuo signals that the war against pornography might cause a larger backlash against weblogs that have actually nothing to do with pornography. He was told to close down. His site is technically illegal, although he has tried to get a license, but the price is too high.
The problem is that China is rather generous when it come to banning things. Then they discover that they have banned too many things and bit-by-bit everything returns to normal, but not after upsetting many people.
The ISP threathens to close down the site and even take action against the persons involved. That will hurt their own business, since it is very easy to set up weblogs and websites outside China. Getting blocked here is a remote possibility, when you organize your things well. Important enough to follow up on this.
