Tencent Internet-holding denies censorship charge

The biggest Chinese Internet company called Tencent denies all charges of its chat-application WeChat censoring. According to the word of the company’s representatives the inaccessibility of many types of the content abroad is a technical error not an act of censorship. At the same time many blogs and and West editions report that “technical errors” can appear only if messages of users include any kind of “prohibited words”. In this way according to The Next Web blog’s data the error take place every time a user talks on any of “sensible themas, for example the name of the prohibited Falgulon group or the one of newspaper, the journalists of which openly opposed censorship. Also users massages after stating links of the oppositional blogs are also inaccessible.

We remind that earlier the Chinese government was repeatedly accused of Internet censorship, however the official Beijing never admitted facts of political blocking, saying that they only block resources with pornography and illegal content.

Today the Internet-holding published the issue according to which some foreign users cannot get the access to a number of message due to some technical errors. We are taking measures to eliminate this problem and adduce an excuse”, - said Tencent.

Nowadays Tencent is also the operator of the instant messages service QQ and of the Tencent Weibo blog-platform. The WeChat numbers nearly 300 million Internet users.

Sibal is not the only fighter with the Internet censorship

New Delphi: The Internet knows no boundaries, follows no rules. It presents us all sides of the story. It is some kind of phenomena for the society.

Turning the arguments upside down you will get some arguments for censorship or content screening - no freedom is absolute specially if the matter is the whole nation.

Kapil Sibal telecom minister together with representatives of Facebook, Google and some other sites are having this theory as a base during their meeting within last two months. There is a belief that Sibal suggests pre-screening of the content that in its turn promotes obscenity and regards some religions. Others consider some cartoons to depict Mrs Gandhi and other socio-political leaders.

One can represent government’s move that have been a cue Vinay Rai, Aijaz Ashraf Qasmi.

On December 20th , Qasmi a spokesperson of Deoband filed a civil suit in the capital of India. Delphi’s court demanded removal of blasphemous content and assurance from a certain number of websites that will compulsory host any content in future.

Founder of fatwaonline.org Qasmi is a highly professional mufti from Deoband. He pursued journalism from the seminary in 2006.

Qasmi noted the material of a religious character or some other similar sentiments should not be placed in the web site or placed with a special permission. It is some kind of a social bomb because this type of the content produces evidence via sealed envelope if it is possible to say that.

Earlier on December 16 Rai , a journalist with a national channel of news posted a criminal case in the Patiala House, it was directed to the websites on the same basics. In these statements Rai points out that the freedom of speech is not at all showing and speaking all you want to speak or do. Rai also advices not to attack religion because it may lead to cruel protests and collisions.

Both these persons are for censorship and for pre-screeing on some searching engines and social nets. According to their statement Ban is neither practical nor intended.

You tube is the best example: every video is screened before being uploaded, it does not presuppose its being viewed instantly, other sites have the same norms for existing, their hosts study social and law work at the Lucknow University.

They additionaly brief Sibal a progress of the court cases. Qasmi assures that he would put much efforts in this matter and aquire more than 1500 people in social net such as Facebook.

What makes different Internet from media: Internet spreads the information quicker than media and in case of publishing some offensive information in the net before it is noticed it would have been spread to the great number of sites by that moment.

The speed of information spreading in this case depends on the popularity of the site especially in social web communities.

The kind of screening the demand is very meaningful in the United States of America and some other Western countries.

West follows double standards, they does not allow publishing of these materials in their territory, they can propagate such material on Indian websites. People from all over the world congratulate me on the initiative and this is the beginning.
