Guest Tony n Terrific Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Two more websites dedicated to social networking went offline in China on Tuesday amid tightening controls that have blocked Facebook, Twitter and other popular sites that offered many Chinese a rare taste of free expression. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stor...FC?OpenDocument {edit} Spelling correction in title.

Tony_onrock Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, I couldnot get on facebook for a few days, then a friend told me a program that can get around the block. It just slows down the surffing a bit, but hey I am back on facebook. The real trouble is Chinese websites, they keep on deleting my posts and send me a warning email. THAT is annoying Link to comment

THAT is annoying And it will only get worse leading up to National Day celebrations in October. It's easy to get around filetring by using either a paid VPN / proxy server or a free one. Free ones are a pain in the neck as they work sporadically or often not at all. Link to comment
