Att Kina censurerar Internet och skärpt den censuren under OS har det rapporterats om. Ett steg i censur-processen togs i tisdags då Kina blockerade iTunes.
ITunes – ja just det. Apples musiktjänst. Där finns ju till exempel låten Song for Tibet.
But the latest wrong move will be harder to cover up, that of course being China’s decision late Tuesday to block iTunes in China. News of the blockage surfaced first in a discussion on Apple’s site, and later in a blog by F.X. Leach on Students for a Free Tibet’s website but as yet there is no official comment on why Itunes got the cyber-shaft by the Great Firewall of China.
But a hint maybe? A few hours before the blockage, news surfaced Tuesday about Songs for Tibet, a compilation CD put out by the Art of Peace Foundation. The group and iTunes offered free downloads for Olympic athletes and apparently 40 Olympiads took them up on the offer, and coverage of this likely prompted the block.
