GoDaddy Stops Registering Domains in China
GoDaddy has said that it will stop registering domains in China because of new government rules that the company believes are intrusive.
The Washington Post reports that GoDaddy today informed lawmakers that it would no longer be registering domain names in China because of new rules that require applicants to submit extensive amounts of personal information.
The company said it believes the new rules, which include the requirement that applicants submit photos of themselves, are a bid to increase the level of surveillance of content on Web sites. According to the Washington Post, GoDaddy believes the rules could put its customers at risk and is wary of the "chilling effect" it could have on new registrations.
The news comes after Google's decision to leave China and on the heels of rumors that Dell is contemplating relocating its Chinese operations
Can't wait to see if this is all talk or a damaging blow to their ideas that you can be as anal retentive and overly-controlling of people as you want and nothing bad will happen to you.
If China destroys the US economy, they destroy their own. They're tied to us, no matter how much they make it seem different, and how much they'd wish it different.
Although there economic system is becoming more socialist/capitalist, their government is very Communist in nature, just look at their crack downs on out speakers and freedom activists....not that we'd hear about them if they existed anymore....

Here you are, 8 hours later, repeating the same rumor you created that has been proven wrong. In fact, if you search "Dell China India Google" using Bing, your article is the 2nd result as you are the only one that carried the rumor and never bother to update it.
I know you are in it for the money but could you at least give it a try. Tabloid is the lowest form of journalism and I doubt you want to spend the rest of your career tweeting and making up stories.

Nowadays, every single article on Tom's with even a single hint of "china" in it is from Jane McEntegart. Boring, misinformed, inaccurate and irrelevant to a site like Tom's Hardware.
So we put an embargo on their ass? Theyll have mass starvation within 6 months and, if we are lucky, a civil war!
