Questioning the legality of China Telecom's action of shutting down the entire computer room when dealing with illegal websites. Who will protect the rights and interests of legal websites?
At about 1 a.m. on December 5, 2009, the entire Caobaolu Telecom computer room was disconnected (although only port 80 was blocked), resulting in the inaccessibility of all websites hosted in the computer room. IDC said that Telecom needed to check each server.
At around 6 p.m. on December 8, 2009, without any notice, the Caobao Road Telecommunications Equipment Room was completely disconnected from the Internet. This time, it was not just port 80 that was blocked. IDC said that CCTV will come to interview tomorrow and the email has been closed. It is unpredictable when the lockdown will be lifted.
Not only the Caobaolu Telecom computer room, but also many computer rooms across the country have recently experienced disconnections. This behavior will seriously hinder the healthy development of China's Internet and damage the image of Telecom as a quasi-governmental department among the people. There is nothing wrong with China's punishment of illegal websites, and everyone supports it. The question is that China Telecom has blocked the entire computer room without distinguishing between young and old. This kind of one-size-fits-all and continuous behavior is unacceptable! Is this behavior legal??
Although I am not a law student, I think this is definitely illegal! Just like last year’s melamine milk powder issue, you can punish illegal milk powder companies, but can you ban all milk powder companies? Now China Telecom’s language is very Apparently all milk powder companies have been banned. The rights and interests of legitimate websites have been violated by China Telecom with high-sounding reasons! The disconnection of a website is like a store being closed and unable to operate. I would like to ask the bosses of China Telecom, if you are a legitimate webmaster, what will you do? The website cannot be accessed because the computer room is blocked. How do you feel?
China has always advocated the rule of law and the rule of law in society. China Telecom's blanket and continuous blockade of computer rooms infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of legitimate websites. Does China Telecom dare to say that it is acting in accordance with the law? As victims, we need to unite to fight against this illegal behavior and demand that China Telecom be punished. Lianzuo’s legal website issued a public apology.
