Name of the Game
Censorship
China took a two-pronged approach to censoring the Internet
1) First, authorities restricted the production, development, and
dissemination of improper content.
2) Then, authorities monitored the perusal of content or receipt of
information.
Harmful content included material concerning
democracy (e.g., freedom),
religious cults (e.g., Falun Gong),
or antigovernment protests (e.g., Tiananmen Square)

Pro-Democracy Movement
� A mass protest in Tiananmen Square, a large plaza in the
center of Beijing. On the night of June 3 and the morning of
June 4, the Chinese government responded with a massive
display of military force� Tanks over-ran the square and the streets leading to it, and
soldiers opened fire on protesters, killing as many as 3,000
and injuring thousands more. The crackdownknown as the
June 4th incident or sometimes simply as Six-Four
effectively suppressed the pro-democracy movement.
