M.A's commentary:
Specifically I want to watch movie trailers. And I thought it was worth mentioning, I can't watch the Hunger Games official trailer because it is on youtube.
Indigo's commentary:
So much is available to us on Youtube. We can watch beauty how-to's, vlog casts about news, old news programmes, funny cat videos and so so much more. Due to the mass amounts of videos accesible via Youtube it comes as no surprise to me that it is blocked. While the Chinese government no doubt has the power to block individual users or individual video's, with the constant stream of uploads, that would require so much time and resources! I don't exactly blame them for electing to block the site completely.
The main thing I think they are probably trying to block is the access to certain news stories that get uploaded, whether old or new ones. Just typing in China, and News into the search box brings back multiple videos that I am positive the Chinese government wouldn't want people to see. As unfortunate as it is, Youtube is blocked and I can't imagine that it will become unblocked any time soon.
Here are some Youtube video's that my mom can't access but YOU can watch:
