No More YouTube...

A couple of articles relating to the blocking. Can't even get access via proxy. While the proxy allows you to get to the site, after several seconds the video screen displays: "This video is no longer available."

I've given up on trying to get past it, I use vadilla and the Tor button with Firefox, loads the website but not the video. Hope they end the censorship soon, I just want to post more video's of China. Their kind of shooting themselves in the foot with this.

It really shows just how sensitive the government is to keeping special interest groups from advancing their agenda from within the Chinese borders. I'm sure Google is really tip-toeing around this one, as China is a big market for them. I don't think Google will go as far as removing the offending videos, but they may work to somehow get them permanently blocked from being viewed here.
