In other news:
It was announced by Google today that its YouTube video-sharing website had been blocked in China.
According to Google, it did not know why the site had been blocked, but a report by the official Xinhua news agency of China on Tuesday said that supporters of the Dalai Lama fabricated a video that appeared to show Chinese police officers brutally beating Tibetans after riots last year in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, according to The Associated Press. The news agency did not identify the video, but based on the description it appears to match a video available on YouTube that was recently released by the Tibetan government in exile.
Google spokesman, Scott Rubin, said, “We don’t know the reason for the block; our government relations people are trying to resolve it.”
Beijing has announced major crackdowns on pornographic websites recently, going so far as to cite Google and other large companies for listing the sites on their search engines. There are critics that say they believe that Beijing is using the word “pornography” as a rationale to eliminate websites that it deems troublesome.
Pakistan, Thailand, Turkey, among others, have all blocked YouTube for varying periods of time, stating state directly why they have acted. For TicosLand.com and people in Costa Rica, it’s troubling that governments will go to such extents to cover up information. The free flow of ideas is what will eventually open the world and create a worldwide community. Until then, we must fight so that these countries continue to receive news of what’s really going on in the world without the news being filtered by government agencies that want to spoon feed the people and keep them in the dark.
To this end, TicosLand.com wants the people of Costa Rica and all over the world to know that you can access sites that your government doesn’t want you to see through proxy servers. You can connect to proxy servers all over the world and keep your location hidden from prying eyes. You can go to HackingBallZ.com or Proxy4Free.com and find lists for hundreds upon hundreds of free proxy servers. You can go a bit further and establish your own proxy server with free software such as Tor Vidalia for Windows, Mac or Linux. If you are in one of these countries that is trying to restrict your access to information, don’t be discouraged. Find a proxy server and access the information you want.
