SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China has shut down more than 4,000 websites and online accounts in a three-month campaign against “harmful” online information, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday, citing the country’s illegal publication watchdog.

China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytizing and even “spreading rumors”.

In a campaign that started in May, the authorities tackled 120 violations and ordered 230 firms to rectify irregularities. More than 147,000 pieces of harmful information were removed by the end of August, according to China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications.

We really should take notice of this here in America. Although this happened in China and is sort of expected for their society, this is the kind of thing that Democrats, Google, Youtube, and Facebook, want to import to America. If you say the wrong thing, or if you have the 'wrong opinion', it is no longer a question of debate with the Left. They don't want to debate you at all. They want to shut you down, just like in China.

It's our consumer dollars that have been buying this shit FOR the ChiComs.
