China blocks YouTube.com over Tibet protest videos

This is another reason why we all should boycott China and its brutal leadership as well as this coming Olympics. I think Canada and other countries should pull their teams from participation as act of protest. It is time to put pressure on them and stop the human right abuse, Tibet is a free country, the occupation must end. 

From Yahoo News: China blocked access to YouTube.com today after dozens of videos of recent protests in Tibet appeared on the popular U.S. video website. The blocking added to the Communist government's efforts to control what the public sees and hears about protests that erupted Friday in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, against Chinese rule. Access to YouTube.com, usually readily available in China, was blocked after videos appeared on the site Saturday showing foreign news reports about the Lhasa demonstrations, montages of photos, and scenes from Tibet-related protests abroad. There were no protest scenes posted on China-based video websites such as 56.com, youku.com and tudou.com. The Chinese government has not commented on its move to prevent access to YouTube.
