Proving that there are stupid people in government everywhere..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I present you with Google being banned in China (link via Dane) and the Greeks banning all gaming, apparently they are unable to tell the difference between electronic illegal gambling and video games, so in their infinite wisdom they’ve decided to ban all electronic games. (link via Online Blog)

More wonderful examples of how world governments are afraid of how we’ll use technology and are trying to control it.
