China Blocks Twitch Game-Streaming Service
Video game-streaming service Twitch has been blocked in China.
Since 20 September, Twitch's website has been unreachable from the country and its app has been removed from the local Apple App Store.
Twitch has confirmed that it is being blocked but it has not said why the authorities have imposed the restriction.
The service was cut off shortly after enjoying a significant bump in popularity among Chinese gamers. The streaming service has been gaining a larger following in China over the last few months. Many keen gamers flocked to it in late August to watch eSports matches being played at the Asian Games in Jakarta.
Not a fan of Twitch myself, but I'm even less of a fan of censorship.

honestly, its not that bad...
as educated man, it is now evident that with the declining jobs and lack of actual wars with great casualties, it is not the wisest thing to remove entertaining stuff from peoples life...
or, they will end up occupied with who believes best in God, and who is thinking lewd stuff of who's wife, or even worse...
let us be sober here...
