Censorship on youku

Censorship on youku



Yesterday I tried to upload another video on the theme of attaining Chinese nationality to Youku.com. But for some reason, not only was it immediately censored, but it also triggered the censorship of both the previously uncensored videos on the same theme on the site, which I had uploaded last week. I\'m not sure exactly why; one possibility is that I was wearing a T-shirt with the letters six and four in one of the frames of the video. Apart from that there was nothing very anti-Communist party. This is not my first experience of having a video censored in China, but it is the first time that I have had a video censored which I had taken a lot of time and trouble to make. As usual there was no explanation for the censorship.It\'s a learning experience which makes me understand and sympathise with mainland China users of such websites. It\'s very disheartening to go to the trouble of uploading video, only to find it has been deleted, to the extent that it puts me off wanting to use their website in future. Websites in the West go to great trouble to make it easy for users, and avoid discouraging them. Websites such as this would never have a chance to compete if they were exposed to competition from uncensored sites. It\'s so strange that a company like this can raise hundreds of millions of US dollars on the NASDAQ in New York
