Facebook fights for survival in China By Eduardo Sioson Oct 27, 2009

Loretta Chao for WSJ reported on the looming demise of Facebook in China, country with the most number of Internet users.

According to the report, data taken from Inside Facebook, the social networking site’s latest statistics reveals that from one million users in July, the remaining active users of the social networking site beginning October dropped to only 14,000. This is due to the fact that the Chinese government is strict on giving licenses to foreign Internet companies. Aside from that, Chinese censors are keen on filtering out unhealthy contents, which can be considered illegal in the country such as pornography and politically sensitive contents.

Not too long ago, there have been reports that Internet users can no longer access Facebook like what had happened to Google’s YouTube.

However, many Facebook users are still looking for ways of connecting to Facebook. Some have expressed disapproval to the government’s action, hoping that the web site would be unblocked but to no avail yet, the article said.
