CNET 41: Blogspot and why the Great Firewall is a good analogy
Well, it may be just one of those
temporary blips, or it could be that the ever-mercurial Net nanny has
decided that Blogspot really is too uncivilized for Chinese Internet
users. At any rate it is, at least in Beijing, inaccessible again, as
Danwei reports.
Such is life. We all got excited a couple of weeks ago when
Wikipedia and Blogspot were suddenly accessible again.
But it wouldn't be the first time that the restoration of a site is
brief. To this day, the banned Technorati is prone to be suddenly
accessible for a day or two from time to time. Nevertheless, I'm
keeping my fingers crossed. I'd gotten used to being able to read
Blogspot blogs without going through a proxy.
