Written by Amazon owned IMDB.com, a popular web database of movies and actors, is no longer accessible from China.
Why China Blocked IMDB
While there continues to be no official comment on why the IMDB website was blocked inside China, rumors on Twitter recommended that this documentary on the Dalai Lama and Tibet may have been the main reason for the block.
The film talks about Tibetans living in exile and their struggle to totally free Tibet. The film also contains scenes from Chinese occupied Lhasa (Tibet’s capital), and all this may have already been enough for the censors in China to place IMDB behind the red firewall.
Other popular websites that are presently blocked in China consist of Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Tumblr and Twitter. Wikipedia is only partially banned in China.
