China Blocks Virtual Private Network Use

Three of the most important providers of Virtual Private Network (VPN),  have been censored. These providers are used by citizens to surf the internet for websites that are outside of China. Without these providers individuals are limited to a restricted amount of websites. Twitter, Facebook and Google operate certain website which have now been banned. These are some of the major websites used constantly on cellphones and to have it be taken away feels very controlling. China is known for having a well-run censorship system which restricts what can be viewed online but it is said to be for safety reasons. Whether this may be true or not, there is a variety of information that individuals are unaware of due to their lack of research ability. It is claimed to preserve China's 'cyberspace sovereignty' brought by the long ruling Communist Part. This restriction have not yet been set for larger corporations but it wouldn't be that surprising if it were.  Strong VPN are trying very hard to restore the censored websites but I am sure it will be an ongoing conflict between regaining access and dismantling it. The idea of having such websites taken from me seems unimaginable because of the amount of freedom we all have to research anything we want. Using Twitter or Google seems harmless but it is obvious that China thinks differently. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30982198

Bangladesh Arrests 7,000 Opposition Activists

The start of a nation wide protest began about two weeks ago and ever since then about 7,000 or more activists have been arrested. The current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has had an ongoing feud with another woman by the name of Khaleda Zia for 20 years. Zia called the protest to begin on the anniversary of last year's election. Activist were arrested because many of them have bombed vehicles and have killed about 29 people. Hasina argued the activists are not practicing politics rather they are acting as terrorist. Rewards have been offered of about 100,00 taka which is equivalent to 1,300 dollars for any information of protest leaders. The acts of violence committed by the activists are so extreme that authorities are now having a shoot-on-site policy for anyone involved in such dangerous and violence practices. Since such issues have occurred, Zia has been put on house arrest but was recently freed. The matter as to why such protests are occurring is not quite clear but these people are clearly in oppositions with their authorities but the way these people are handling it isn't right. Instead of having their voice be heard they are just making things worst by causing disturbing violence within their nation.
