A Facebook lobbyist recently said that perhaps the site was allowing too Much Free Speech in countries that were not used to the luxury.
The Facebook-China rumor mill has been churning for years now, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the site will launch a censorship-friendly option in the country.
As Per the Information , Facebook Will Parter With Baidu (Baidu -Chinese search engine )
and launch a separate site, although all users will have the ability to connect to it – but not without some red tape. “When Facebook users outside China connect with users inside China, sources said they will need to click through a warning that any material visible to Chinese users may also be visible to the Chinese government.”
China has been accused of hacking Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents, so if you’re trying to connect to Facebook China, it can be assumed your content is being monitored. The censorship issue has been at the heart of Facebook’s inability to break through China’s firewall, and the solution seems like a weak compromise:
There will be two Facebooks, one censored, one not, and those privy to the free speech version will be giving up their privacy in order to connect to the other, although they will be given fair warning.
Facebook may implement input and display filters, which simply mean that Chinese Facebook users won’t be able to post or see “objectionable” content.
