China Restricting People From Registering Domains

[demonhorde665]

[citation][nom]Yoder54[/nom]As long as the people of China have access to the Web, then they have access to information and it is this information that drives democracy and social revolution. I don't see this as be a violation of citizens rights.Besides porn and some of the above mentioned material, it may also be an attempt to shut down some of these scam sites. Google "uggs for cheap" and scroll down the page and notice all of the URLs that have been eliminated. There is a big problem with scum in China setting-up bogus sites. My daughter was going to order some and I noticed that something was not right...the site has since been eliminated. So, if the Chinese government has to do something like this to protect global consumers then I am all for it. Now if only the Nigerian government would take some control of its scam factories.[/citation]


you actulaly by this "whole democracy" thing? don';t get me wrong i like my country but i'm so tired of oyur media and our citizens acting like our sh-- doesn't stink. thje US it's self aint a trude democracy , even in our democracy nation , true democracy only exsist at the city/town level. our state and federal goverments are republic based. which if you ask me is damn scary , given the largest "republic" in history (prior to our country's exsistance) was the roman empire .. and we can see where it led them. So please save the "democracy and social revolution" crap for idiots who don't actually understand how real world politics work

Why do people keep rambling on about freedom, this has nothing to do with freedom. United States has the same exact policy in regards to registering the .us domain. It's up to the discretion of the country the domain belongs to in how they decide to allow it to be used.

It's for security. You are allowed to, but you need to submit your info first: nothing abnormal. In American countries is not needed, that's why we see a lot of disgusting websites trying to steal our money.

So if something doesn't affect you directly, to hell with it, even if it's harming someone else, right? Way to go.

While i agree freedom of speech is important, there can be no question that unregulated freedom is abused, there can be no denying the abuse this has caused on the web. There are a lot of sick sites on the web right now, what with scams, child porn and many other kinds of twisted things.

I actually believe the owner of "EVERY" site should be recorded, anonymity can be useful but it is abused far more than it helps.

The trouble is of course that this registration can then be used to oppress social comment, time will tell which way it goes, but in principle I think all registered domains in every country should be traceable to one person or company. That way we can trace the scam artists and child pornographers

There is only one person who can do that, and he would never have the time.

"This is also another effort to stop widespread pornographic content on personal websites."

The Spice must flow!

China always had stupid internet limitations. I remember something about a porn filter or something a few months ago.

Sucks to be in China ";.;"

At least in China they know they're not free. In the west we live in the illusion of democracy and freedom of speech

 

[tallguy1618]

They didn't say they will not let people have their own website, just they have to go through the government first which, as somebody else has said, will make it a lot easier to trace content on the internet. It's kind of like making people go through a LONG registration process to own firearms so that the gun can be easily traced.

Whats so bad about porn?

China isn't the only country that is now requiring some kind of identificattion to register a domain. Most of these countries have these in place to lesten cyber squaters on their domains and to avoid abuse.

It doesn't have to do with "freedom of speech". Just saying.

I'm a Chinese. And I have not been able to access youtube since Mar,2009. And, I have to say that we can't access facebook, twitter, and many other websites around the world and most of we people surfering on internet think this is super suck. Long before this, website such as wiki was once blocked by gov. Besides, if you try to search some keywords such as China or something on some search engine, a stupid firewall in the backstage will temporily disable your access to the page, and this is rediculous. Many rediculous things happen in China, and we know it, we just can't do much.

this sounds like something intresting in principle... but why the formal paper work??? cant they just require a redirect to some web sight to plug in information... kinda like a credit card purchase. i mean they would get the information they needed and im sure if some one was determend they could probably find a way to dupe the system no matter how you try to impliment controlls. tracking for the sake of stopping abuse and criminals works for me, but requireing paper when the future of technolagy is paperless... THINK OF THE TREES >.
