YouTube banned

This week China banned the usage of YouTube in their country. Some footage leaked onto the site of chinese soldiers beating a group of monks in a monestary. Another scene showed a few Tibetans tied up on the ground being struck. The Chinese goverment said that they handled the protests that took peacefully. Censoring YouTube after the footage leaked makes them look just a little bit guilty. The wonders of a site like YouTube is the fact that citizen journalists have a way to showcase their footage to the world. Although it is dissapointing Chinese peopele cannot view the torture of the Tibetans, it is extremely important that other countries worldwide can be concious.
