I’ve been banned<\/a> by the government of China! I have! Alas, it isn’t because Jiang Zemin decided my imperialist running dog propaganda was too dangerous for the masses to read. They got themselves a list of authorized sites, see, and my friends and I aren’t on it, and you and your friends aren’t either. But don’t let me keep you from enjoying that frisson of dissidence while it lasts. Oddly, the official Chinese Government site<\/a> is reported as inaccessible in China. A prize, or something, to the first person who finds a site that isn’t<\/em> blocked in China. (Link from OxBlog<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

(Update:<\/b> The Declarer<\/a>, Floyd McWilliams, comments that he was in an Internet cafe in China last week and pulled up The Washington Post<\/a>, Drudge<\/a> and Instapundit<\/a>, all of which are reported inaccessible by the Harvard site. The apparently universal faith that if software returns results then the results must be correct is touching. Really.)<\/p>\n

(Further Update:<\/b> Looks like Harvard ironed out a few kinks. I’m now reported as accessible in China, and so is blogspot, and so, I suspect, is everyone else who was so pleased about being banned. Which indicates that I was wrong, and that they do, in fact, maintain a list of banned domains rather than authorized ones.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
