Tracks by Lady Gaga and Beyonce take the lead among 100 songs that have been placed on an internet blacklist by China's culture ministry. Music websites have been given until 15 September to remove all such offending tracks, which officials say harm "national cultural security".
The internet in China is tightly controlled, with content deemed inappropriate often blocked or removed. A notice posted on the culture ministry's website said the 100 songs had not been submitted for official approval.
Those that fail to comply with the directive risk being prosecuted by the Chinese authorities... No doubt it is high time Lady Gaga is put to check with all these weird stuffs she pushes to the public sphere.
