Censorship

Hey, thanks for helping me with my English project by taking this survey!

Generally, what you think about censorship in the media and on the internet?

It's great

It's ok

I dont think about it

It's bad

There shouldnt be any restrictions

China blocks thousands of new websites everyday, mainly because the website contains a different political view. What do you think about this?

It protects the citizens in China

Relatively good reason

There's no need

It's ridiculous and absurd

China takes censorship to the next level by banning movies that have homosexual content, supernatural theme, and/or difference in present political views and traditional beliefs. What do you think about this?

That's ok, I can always go buy pirated movies

Meh, I dont like Brokeback Mountain anyways

Neutral feelings

No, that's crossing the line

Television shows are also somewhat censored in China. Certain words such as "penis", "lesbian" are cut from scenes. Also, certain hit TV shows may not find its way to China because of its content (eg "Will and Grace"). What do you think about this?

I agree

I dont like the word "penis"

Neutral feelings

Sometimes the episodes lose their meaning that way

Wrong, wrong, wrong. WAY crossing the line.

Some books are also banned from China (surprise, surprise) What do you think about this?

Some can be hurtful

I dont read anyways

Neutral Feelings

It's bad for children's education if some books cannot be reached.

Sometimes China broadcasts bias news reports especially when it comes to political news. What do think about this?

It's fiiine...

It's to protect

Neutral Feelings

No one will know the true story

It's almost as wrong as broadcasting fictional news

Honestly, do you think China's strict censorship law is "hurting" or "protecting"?

Hurting

Protecting

Neither (Neutral)

Where do you think the line should be drawn?

Banning websites

Banning books

Banning movies

Banning TV shows//editting episodes

All of the above

None (Ban everything)
