China Internet Control Unacceptable: European Commissioner

From AFP:

It is unacceptable for China to block Internet content, a European Commissioner said Friday, calling the Internet a free and open medium.

“We say for instance to the Chinese, very clearly so, that their blocking of certain Internet content is absolutely unacceptable,” said Viviane Reding, the European Commissioner for Information Society and Media.

“So Europe speaks up in this sense, and is fighting for the freedom of speech and the freedom to receive the news,” she said.
