Chinese Web sites go offline amid tightening controls
Two more Chinese social networking sites went offline amid a tightening Internet clampdown that has blocked Facebook Twitter and YouTube. The shutdowns followed censorship over Tiananmen anniversary and Xinjiang riots with authorities moving to curb online political content. Digu and Zuosa cited maintenance and server moves as reasons, while Sina and Netease channels were briefly shut for posting uncensored corruption coverage. Analysts say the actions reflect a long term strategy to reduce online voices and power.
