China tries to stop WhatsApp on its territory

The messenger did not like the local officials.

Messenger WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, now partially blocked in China. Chinese users have already started to complain that they cannot send photos and videos. Some users also can’t send text messages. This writes The New York Times.

It should be noted that the blocking program was implemented under the government initiative called “the Great Firewall” ( “Great firewall”), which aims to strengthen control over the Internet in China. Recently the government of this Asian country is also beginning to more closely monitor the content of foreign television shows and constantly blocking news websites that publish provocative news.

In addition, the Communist party of China recently publicly criticized the company Tencent that has created a very fascinating game for smartphones.

We will remind, the Authorities of China ordered the largest Internet service providers in the country to block all VPN communication channels , allowing you to circumvent the “great Chinese firewall” – a system of total censorship
