Online Video May Be Screened In China

0 views

A YouTube fact sheet states that over 65,000 videos are uploaded to the site on a daily basis. Now, imagine how many of those would make it if every single one had to be screened by a live person. Fear not - this isn't going to happen at YouTube - but it is what the Chinese government has proposed as policy for its own online video content.

InfoWorld about the possibility. "In the minds of China's regulators," he said, "this is merely broadcast by other means, and is thus subject to the same legal constraints as conventional radio and television." As for how likely this is to happen, "It is only a matter of time before SARFT issues regulations covering the full range of streaming online content," Wolf stated (with SARFT being China's State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television).
