I wonder how many people the Chinese are using to scan the internet to block all negative press?

Question

I even had a Question on here blocked for asking if their actions tarnished the Olympic games. And I know for a fact it did not Violate terms of the community guidelines due to no hate speech or such, just a opinion of current NEWS found on YAHOO itself.

Answer 1

You know, the Olympics is an occasion to rise above one self, to achieve greatness. You are totally missing out on that.

They've made a great game. Sure, legitimate questions concerning judges and so on should be answered but the politics should be kept out. It belittles the games.

This might even be why your question was blocked.

Answer 2

Well, EVERY media person has a "handler", the Chinese government encourages hackers (all those attacks on the Pentagon computers..?), so I wouldn't be surprised to find out they have someone scrolling through here.  Good question!

Answer 3

many thousands

Answer 4

Ranting and racist post as well as political overtones will be deleted. If you want to post a political post; go to current events or politics or government.

Answer 5

There are about 30,000 Internet police working for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.  Most of the tools are computerized, so each guy dont have to click and read each page.  It's called the Great Firewall of China.
