The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been filtering out information from its people for many years. The Government of china takes special restrictions for blocking out what “they” say is safe for their people to read. The PRC takes extreme measures to block out keywords for the freedom of china and even the Urumqi riots back in 2009. So one could see were hiring a third party could come in as a scapegoat, or simple add to the already massive filter system put into place right now.
The PRC is a communist country that has a certain set laws that the entire population must follow. Things from what religion, to clothes, to even what kind of car they can drive. With implications like this, one can only imagine what kind of a blocking protocol that would ensue. China has blocked and filtered more than any other country in the world and does so at no secret to anyone.
The Chinese government uses many different forms of blocking protocol including DNS redirection, keyword filtering, web server IP address, and DNS server IP address. The websites themselves such as www.yahoo.com, www.altavista.com, and www.google.com where asked by the government to impose certain regulations with their search engines to aide in filtering out banned content. Some arguments say that these companies themselves should not have to pre-filter out their sites. That it is taking a biased view when agreeing to this kind of stance in helping out a communist country. But others simple state that it only helps in the long wrong and the money is probably nice too. Google is one of the few companies that have severed their ties with china and moved stopped self-censoring its search engine. Google stated that the reason for severing its ties happened when an internet hack occurred that originated for china. The PRC also blocks social network and notable news sites in order to keep only what they want in their country allowed.
