China's Censorship @ xiaonei.com

Xiaonei.com, the Chinese copy of Facebook.com, is currently undergoing the censorship inspection by the Chinese government...
The censorship is targeted are the Group application!
as increasing number of college students have registered and entered xiaonei.com. xiaonei.com has become an ever open platform for college students to interact and exchange. I'm a xiaonei user myself and I can tell you the rate of information sharing is much much more higher than what I experienced on facebook, despite that i have only 1/5 number of friends on xiaonei.com.

i remember i received notice earlier than the date specified on the notice Jan 15 2009 about the censorship inspection was going to take place some time soon. now it is undergoing the inspection!

well.. i don't know how long it will take for the group to come back. let us see how efficient they are then! the information in the xiaonei.com group can be a few times more than the data in an encyclopidea. That's just a pure sense of how big the database can be that it is even made the chinese government to start looking into it.
