Putting the best foot forward….for august anyway

Talk putting the best foot forward…there has been a major effort to crack down on unsavory content on the web prior and during the olympics, for example:

1) Audits and closing down of all sites that do not have an ICP license. Basically to run any type of website in China you need some sort of ICP license (to different degrees depending on what kind of content is on your site). This has always been the rule, they just haven’t been very vigilant about closing down sites that don’t have it.

2) Scanning for unsavory keywords

3) Disallowing entry into datacenters for basically the whole month of August. Yeah, that means if your servers hardware goes down, too bad. Gotta wait until the end of august to get in there.

Looks like they aren’t kidding around.
