The Great Firewall.

July 7th, 2009 § 2

Did you check Facebook today? Well I tried and you know what, I can’t see it. Why? Because of this, there are riots in *orth *est *hina. Do you know how big of a deal Twitter, Facebook, Youtube has played in the elections in the Middle East? From what I have read it’s been a big deal. So I suppose that China didn’t want any of that. So they blocked everything so that no one could blog, write, or post video about what is happening up there. Got to love governments. I suppose that it’s not my place to say whether it should of should not have been blocked. But when you have had the freedom of looking at whatever you want it’s hard to be restricted to not looking at it so that the countries government can block information from it’s people. I can’t even see what people have written about Facebook being blocked. Seems when I click on something the internet slows down to nothing. How great is that. So remember the next time you get to chat on Facebook, see some photos, or wonder why I can’t update my status and talk about how I just did the moonwalk in front of a bunch of Chinese people. Well, it’s because I can’t, I don’t have the freedom to. Pretty lamo…

    Is Skype blocked too? Time to book a flight back to the land of the free.

    Skype is not blocked. It just seems that all my friends in America are working when I am online. Maybe it’s time to quite the job so you can talk to me more.
