Blogspot blocked again

China's Net Nanny has forgotten to take her meds.

In August this year, the Nanny unblocked Blogspot — Google's popular free blog hosting service that had been inaccesible in China for several years.

In the last few days, the Nanny seems to have decided that Blogspot is not doing its part to create a harmonious Internet, so it's back to using proxy servers when you want to read the spiritual pollutants available on one of the world's most popular blog hosts.

The English version of Wikiepedia was unblocked in October this year. it is still accessible today in Beijing.

There are currently 4 Comments for Blogspot blocked again.

Comments on Blogspot blocked again

I've noted that Wikipedia has been drifting in and out. It's been prone to mysterious time-outs. A substantial difference from the zippy response of a day or two ago.

I think it's blocked because today I asked many friends in cina to open Blogger's blog and they couldn't open. Fortunately I switched my blog to wordpress one month earlier!
