Hope Facebook will not have the same treatment when they launch their Chinese version in December 2007. Also hope LinkedIn doesn’t have the good idea to make a counter-revolutionary attack against the Chinese internet. Cross the fingers!

I am curious. I reported in my blog a couple of weeks ago that blogs could now be seen as well without the proxy server. I am just curious to discover if someone somewhere has given an explanation for this new opening to a number of sites. Funny enough, CNN news can be seen on line, but my favorite news page (Radio-Canada in French) was/is blocked. I was wondering if the reason was that it was in French and consequently not commonly understood… Anyway, I will search a little to satisfy my curiosity. Anyone?

Hi Christine.
The GFW is funny that way. sometimes I can tell when the filters are on high when random sites are lost. there is no reason for it other than a new package was uploaded, or a new screen brought online. With any luck it will be back online shortly.
Have a good weekend

Yes it’s back indeed. LOL I’ve never been out anyway because I use Firefox with the TOR addon. But anyway, I doubt it was a case of censorship but most likely a technical problem.. Like last year when the earthquake stroke Taiwan and damaged the undersea wires. If they blocked youtube in purpose, imagine the bad publicity China would have received.. Now, 7 months away from the Olympics.
