Looks like YouTube is now blocked in my hotel

in #travel7 years ago

Just got this notice from my hotel.. seems like they have received notice from the government to suspend VPN services..

Guess I'll have to find another way .. luckily steem is still alive.

Getting rid off all governments.... paradise!
take it light. It is a fun journey.

That's a scary note to read, the government decided what is accessible or not for something as mundane as YouTube...

When I see the control the Chinese Government uses on the internet; It makes me wonder what kind of controls governments could exert on cryptocurrency??

Michael, behave while in China. Don't start a revolution, use mints to calm the YouTube withdrawal symptoms.
LBRY will solve this. Soon...

Well, there's also View.ly that is another decentralized video platform.

Wow thats crazy, the censorship in China is pretty insane.
Get the Cantenna out and jump onto the neighbours internet :P

seems like they are cracking down on VPNs recently. don't know why

Long way to go on the freedom of speech front over there :( This is why we need blockchain!

Good thing i follow you on steem then! :D
Wishing you a nice trip, cant wait to hear you reflect on the trip, and this specific experience.

@boxmining What about the steaming service "twitch"? When @zedomax was blocked from YouTube, the entire Advanced HODL Tech community followed him there seamlessly. Good luck and #effcensorship !!

It is a communist country after-all mate... what did you expect?

@boxmining You can post your videos here on Steemit using a service like Viewly. (sort of a decentralized YouTube)
