did you know that your blogger powered blog is censored in china from this week?. this “crackdown” came as blogger developers checked thier blogger operation in asia and found that thier blogs are blocked once again by the chinese government following the recent blocking incident before olympic games.
there are about 275 million blogs powered by blogger as per the recent survey and all these blogs will be blocked in china.
the two main reasons put forth by the techies is that
- this could be to mark the 20th anniversary of the Tienanmen square incident 4 June, 2009.
- and the other reason is the disruption of service by Google due to its announcement on efforts to restore access in china.
here is the proof of my blogger blog(http://4acesbloggers.blogspot.com) being blocked in china.
and i too have got some tweets which poured in few days ago about this incident.
did you know:
- china in addition to youtube , blogger, Google, facebook etc. twitter could be the next target to their internet censorship list.
- china has the largest number of internet user in the world covering almost 50% activities on the web.
