Tag china adds pinterest to list of banned sites
I think there may be some confusion here!
China has not added Pinterest to its list of banned sites. In fact, Pinterest is still accessible in China, albeit with some limitations.
China has a complex internet censorship system known as the "Great Firewall of China" (GFW), which blocks access to certain websites and online services deemed inappropriate or sensitive by the government. The GFW is not a fixed list, and it's constantly evolving to block new websites and services.
Pinterest has been available in China since 2013, but it has faced some challenges due to the country's internet censorship laws. In 2014, Pinterest was blocked in China for several months due to concerns over content related to Tibet and Taiwan. However, the site was eventually unblocked, and it has remained accessible in China since then.
That being said, Pinterest may still be subject to some restrictions in China, such as:
- Limited access: Some users in China may not be able to access Pinterest due to their internet service provider (ISP) or the GFW.
- Censored content: Pinterest may be required to remove or censor certain content that is deemed inappropriate or sensitive by the Chinese government.
- Geoblocking: Pinterest may use geoblocking techniques to restrict access to certain content or features in China, due to local laws and regulations.
Overall, while Pinterest may face some challenges in China, it is not currently banned in the country.
