I know that this probably rattled up a lot of people. I can see the human rights association pointing their fingers in China's face and yelling "Liars!" Limiting freedom of speech, whoo! What a bold thing to do. I'm sure the fact that the IOC didn't do much about it is upsetting. Even worse, OKed it. Censorship in the Olympics? China's going to get a mouthful for claiming this being a non-political event and then take away the internet. I wonder what the athletes have to say about that, but I'm sure we won't find out because it would be censored. It gets better. Hotels have been installing monitoring equipment to track down Internet activity. China wins for now, but I'm suspecting a little challenge opportunity from the media.
