Jail for traffic

In its latest push against online indecency, China is now threatening to jail certain sites that attract too great a readership. Depending upon the site's traffic sentences range from living under compulsory surveillance, detainment, taking into custody by the police, to various terms of imprisonment and life imprisonment.

Blogger George Adams is safe, then.

I guess that sort of makes sense. I mean, if you are concerned that a blog gets so much traffic that it becomes a de facto newspaper and your government is all about restricting access to information and controlling the press, it makes sense in that context.
