China Hates Internet, Blocks Google+ (Already)

Google+�isn’t�even out of its limited release phase, and China already hates it. Wow, that was� fast. Why would China go so far as to pre-block a social network that isn’t even open to the public yet? Here�s one theory:

The Chinese authorities seem to fear the potential consequences of enabling new social media to be used across a wide scale, which means banning citizens from accessing Google�s Google+ social network — that�s what watchdog sites JustPing and Greatfirewallofchina.org reported.

Considering that China has also blocked Facebook, Twitter and many other social networking sites, this really shouldn�t come as any surprise. However, it should make you incredibly glad that you don�t live in China.
