Facebook is now Blocked in China
First I was so disappointed when youtube was blocked. Then later on I learned to accept things, since as they say "When in Rome do as Romans Do." I then turned to youku for music videos which was not really better compared with Youtube. Results are limited since it's a Chinese site and doesn't give much English contents. The next thing I knew was, blogspot was blocked next to youtube. That time I thought there were some online "writers" who wrote something negative about the government. So I understood. Then, I signed in to twitter for a diversion. After two weeks it was also blocked. Wow, so I imagined they would block every networking websites specially foreign sites. Now, what made me really sick and tired of their move is they now blocked facebook. What can I say, I expected that they would do this. What is strange is my proxy site can't open facebook but I can access blogspot just fine. This is really crazy...stupid or what more can I say? a baby? when are you going to grow up? People in China are not all Chinese and we don't want that our information and communication from the outside world will be totally blocked! Please help me understand them.
