Smosh Forums > General > General Discussion

Youtube has been blocked in China once again. I live in in Shanghai, which means I am unable to access youtube, which also means I am unable to watch Smosh's amazing videos and Fred's stupid and annoying videos. What do you guys think?

They blocked musicvideos on artists channels for England because of some legal fees and youtube not being able to pay them. Maybe it's something like that...
Or not.

Honestly, have you guys even picked up a newspaper or watched the news in the past 6 years?

I think the fact that youtube is blocked is probably the least of the Chinese citizens' worries.

I don't particularly feel like explaining the full situation, but I don't want to leave you all in the dark without resources. Instead I give all of you this: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/china/

Good. Maybe now they won't waste all their time watching viral videos and focus on what's more important. Like making all of our candy.

The life qualities of the Chinese people have improved a lot in the past few years, at least where I live and the places I've been to(I've been to many places in China). Life in China isn't as bad as a lot of you think, trust me, I've experienced it.

Exactly, they still have to get over being chinese in the first place.

You may think that's a joke, but it is kind of offensive to us Chinese.
