China's Sina Weibo vs. Twitter & U.S. SOPA Laws

Chinese "Buried Alive" SOPA Laws

Author Yu Jie, a well known Communist Dissident, whose words, "buried alive" appeared on a popular Chinese bloggers site reported on January 20, 2012 in the Wall Street Journal. He was referring to the government round-up of dissidents and what happens to them.  Mr. Jie was threatened with his life by a Communist security agent where he was stripped naked, kicked and had his fingers bent back one by one. The agent in charge said, "If the order comes from above, we can dig a pit to bury you alive in half an hour, and no one on earth would know," the agent said.  An organization in NYC, Human Rights in China, said, "There are no more than 200 intellectuals in the country who oppose Communism that are influential and if the central authorities think their rule is facing a crisis can capture them all in one night and bury them alive."

Student Wang Weilin in Tiananmen stand-off & later executed The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the June Fourth Incident in Chinese were a series of demonstrations in and near Tiananmen Square, in the center of Beijing, in the Communist People's Republic of China (PRC) beginning on 15 April 1989

These days the very popular Twitter-like microblogging site in China is "Sina Weibo".  Many consider it the closest thing in China to a public square, similar to Tiananmen Square, where the popular cultural uprising occurred. Sadly, it was quickly squashed, literally, by Chinese Army tanks entering the square and running over dissident demonstrators in the square to close down demonstrations.  See below graphic acts of those atrocities and carnage. This is government unabashed censorship.

Student protesters laid out dead on Hospital FloorToday, under the "Subversion Laws" the Chinese government has now entered the Sina Weibo, a public cyber-square or online blogging forum, and is running over the dissidents demonstrating by tanking free speech and squashing human rights again. The government censors can block sites, redirect or detach search engines and arrest, imprison or kill bloggers. This is unabashed government censorship on steroids.

Currently proposed U.S. SOPA, "Stop Online Piracy Act", regulations would then require service providers to either block access or detach search engine links or face prosecution, incarceration and fines. In other words, these providers are forced to be like unappointed federal marshals, policemen that screen, enforce and then fund their own oversight operations too.  (Leastwise, an unreasonable burden on business).

All sound too familiar? It should! This is brazen abridgement of our American freedom of speech amendment and unlawful censorship of Internet sites and in Online blogging forums. It is the same "Stop Online Piracy Act", the "SOPA" Laws" called by another name, "Subversion Laws", openly practiced in Chinese Society today. 

The way to regulate the Internet is to not let Congress and the Justice Department dictate how to conduct Internet business through SOPA Laws!
