Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Live – All Blocked In ChinaStarting from yesterday night (June 2nd, Beijing time), Twitter became unavailable. Didn’t think much about it, because, you know, Twitter has been infamous about that. This morning, looking at the calendar, I suddenly realized what the reason might be – the Tiananmen Square anniversary on June 4th. Checking popular sites for people to get / share information, I found Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Live had all been unaccessible, at least for me, from Beijing. Surprisingly, Wikipedia, even the Chinese version, is still on, but if you tried to reach some sensitive page, you would be blocked from the whole site for about 1 min. It’s funny that even early morning yesterday, people were still cheering on Twitter that Bing can return sensitive search results, including even images and videos. The new baby of Microsoft is obviously not prepared for the nasty Internet environment in China. 6 comments to Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Live – All Blocked In China |

maybe we’ve got it all wrong — maybe China is actually blocking these sites in an attempt to bring as much attention to the Tiananmen Square massacre as possible…
