If you don't completely comply with the Chinese government's regulations in censoring politically sensitive information, there's a good chance the Great Firewall of China will shut you down.

 

In 2010, China shut down 1.3 million Web sites, allowing access to 41 percent fewer than the previous year.

In 2009, the country announced its initiative to terminate pornography, but judging from the country's growing blacklist -- Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, IMDB, YouTube and your very own Business Insider -- any site challenging Chinese politics will be eliminated -- fast.
