I must document this or at least leave my mark somehow before the spread gets to this site soon!
China's Internet Nanny has gotten censorship and block happy recently and have blocked more websites. Youtube is still blocked. Google Gmail was blocked for a few days as well. LJ was blocked for a long time and recently in the past few weeks has been unblocked. Twitter was blocked and unblocked. Now, they have reblocked Twitter and get this, they have even blocked Facebook. As far as I know, this is the first time Facebook has ever been blocked (at least in my experience with the Great Firewall of China). I give it a few more days and then LJ might be blocked again~~
Supposedly the reason behind the recent blockings has to do with the ethnic uprisings in China's Xinjiang Province, home to the Uyghur people. I am sure you can google and wiki the information so that I do not have to get into a discussion here.
FACEBOOK!! With it blocked, what else am I supposed to do online? Work on my thesis?
