The Great Firewall of China, officially known as the "Golden Shield Project," is a massive internet censorship campaign orchestrated by the Chinese government. The project began in 1998 and has since expanded to include an estimated force of over 30,000 special police officers. After riots opposing Chinese rule broke out in Lhasa in March, 2008 censorship increased on photo and video sharing sites like YouTube.
