video sharing websites inChina , where users can upload, view and sharevideo clip s.The domain "56.com" attracted at least [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/56.com?metric=uv 3.2 million visitors] annually by 2008 according to a
Compete.com survey.Access to Chinese online video provider 56.com has been suspended since 18:00 on June 3, 2008, but the company has denied this has something to do with a rumored shutdown by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Instead the company attributes the suspension to a server malfunction.
56.com made an explanation at 10:00 on June 4th, 16 hours after the website's access was stopped, and said that the website had experienced a server failure and was being repaired, but it did not give a clear time for when the site's services would be fully resumed.
Some media, such as Hexun.com and Sina.com, reported that as 56.com has frequently violated relevant government rules with its video content, it has therefore been issued a warning by the government and may be closed for a few days. However, this has been denied by 56.com.
As of
July 11 ,2008 , 56.com has come back online. [ [http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/7/chinese-youtube-56-com-returns-to-living "Chinese YouTube 56.com Returns To Living"] , Silicon Alley Insider,July 11 ,2008 .]See also
