In order to better show the ability of nation states imposing online borders have chosen a recent example. Most interestingly, the two articles I had bookmarked about China blocking digital content on the Tibet situation are no longer accessible. Link1: Associated Press China blocks ‘youtube’ over Tibet videos and Link2 was the same story by WAPT. Usually everthing is archived for a longer period… but I cannot prove that this is evidence of censorship.

Luckily, the article reporting on the lifting of the ban is still available. Here you can read about what had been done in the first place.
