This website blocked in China!

Hooray! I guess I’m too patriotic for the Chinese Government.  All that talk of freedom and how it isn’t free (it costs a buck-o-five).  That’s ok.  I was trying to keep the potential audience for this site under five billion.

    Mine’s blocked too! How are the Chinese going to find out about a harddrive dying at my workplace?!?! This is a travesty. They deserve to know!

    In all seriousness though, this is really creepy stuff. Their IT guys must feel “great” about their jobs… And by “their IT guys” I mean: Cisco, 3COM, Alcatel, Juniper, Google, MSN, and Yahoo. (Here’s a link to get you started reading up on it if you’re interested: http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=5928 )

    Go Team!

    If you are interested if your site is blocked it can be accessed via a proxy site such as http://www.superproxy.co.uk or http://www.super-p.co.uk.

    It’s funny… I did a search for http://www.rockets.com and it is available. http://www.rockets.com is the “official website” of the Houston Rockets, where Chinese AwesomeHero Yao Ming plays, but “rockets” seems like a touchy word, if you ask me.

    Here is another good tool to test if your website is blocked from multiple cities in China:

    Thanks for pointing that out! According to that website, my site is available in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Maybe I’m not as patriotic as I thought.

    This is an outrage, eroding human rights in this way, it is ones right to hold any views even if they conflict with that which the state holds.

    I recommend using http://www.premiumproxy.co.uk as this allows you to access any blocked site anonymously.

    This is about freedom of speech without states/isp’s or other people telling you what you can and cant see, read or publish.
