Twitter User Deported for Online Olympic Protest
The Chinese government has booted NYC resident Noel Hidalgo from the country after he took part in a protest of China's occupation of Tibet in Tiananmen Square. While Hidalgo is far from being the only person to be deported in response to protests during the Olympics, he is the only person who has covered his arrest and deportation live on Twitter and via the video streaming service Qik (the service lets you stream video from your phone to the Internet).
The cell phone video documenting the protest and arrest has become something of an Internet phenomenon, and it has received over 50,000 views so far. Of course, China probably shot itself in the foot here. Hidalgo, known as 'noneck' on Twitter and Qik, wouldn't have drawn nearly as much attention if the story hadn't ended in deportation.

These people who want to tell another government how to run their country need to have their heads examined. However the process of the Chinese government, it is not our place to create riots and disturbances, in the name of "peace and humane ideals." It would be convenient for anyone who travels to another country to protest their way of life to never been seen again. It would be well-deserved, in my opinion. You create enough problems in your own country with welfare and entitlement programs. Get a job and live a real life.
