'Chinese YouTube' shut down - June 20, 2008

It looks like the Chinese government might be ready to ramp up its control over the 'net. Jonathan Richards has the lowdown on the closure of 56.com, which has everyone worried that the Chinese authorities "may be turning their attention to online video."

The site, 56.com, which usually offers YouTube-style video, has been suspended for more than two weeks. A message on the home page blames a server upgrade, but it would be unusual for such routine maintenance to take so long.
