The restrictions on a wide range of web sites in China is facing resentment from a growing number of netizens in the country. Web sites like Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and MySpace are not accessible to the Chinese masses due to internet censorship rules of the land. China's censors have also blocked sites like Blogspot etc. which is growing concern amongst the people there.
According to one of the increasing population of netizens in China, Mr. Zhu Nan, “Officials in our country claimed that Internet censorship is done according to the law. If so, why not let people know about this legal project, and why, instead, ban the Web sites that publicize and examine those legal policies? If you’re determined to do this, you shouldn’t be afraid of criticism.”
Recently, the censorship on usage of internet in China has been further tightened and sites are said to have been blacked out, even those which had no discernible political content. This is resulting into a backlash from people, including those who never had any interest in politics.
