Not that this is any surprise, at least to me. But this is what I find infuriating:
When Chinese officials were bidding for the right to hold the games seven years ago, they assured international organizers that there would be ”complete freedom to report.” In April, Chinese organizers told International Olympic Committee members that Internet censorship, which is routine for China’s citizens, would be lifted for journalists during the games. -=SOURCE=-
Yet it appears this is not the case. Journalists are finding they can not reach out to sites they would normally need to access doing their job. Sites like Amnesty International and any site with the name “Tibet” in it are blocked completely.
I saw a digital poster the other day with the slogan “Would we let Nazi Germany host the Olympics?”
We might as well. We’re letting Communist China host them.
