'Chinese YouTube' shut down amid censor fears

56vomlogo.gif One of the most popular video-sharing websites in China has been shut down, reports the Times Online, prompting fears the Government may be tightening its control over the internet.

"The site, 56.com, which usually offers YouTube-style video, has been suspended for more than two weeks. A message on the home page blames a server upgrade, but it would be unusual for such routine maintenance to take so long.

Executives at the company refused to explain the delay."
