Internet Censorship in China

The internet is a big place to find information throughout the world. Unfortunately, China does not have access to all parts of the internet. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, are not accessable in China because of personal information being leaked out. Names, numbers, addresses, and etc. are very risky things to get out to the public. Communication is a little bit more difficult through the web, but apps like Skype is still available there. Due to a cyber attack in late August, the Chinese government took immediate action and are making sure another attack to their second "Great Wall" does not happen again or at least any time soon.
