Subject: more on China Uncensored
[in case first mailing got lost]
Dave -
One of our opennet researchers (<http://www.opennet.net>) checked out
this graf of the very interesting report sent to IP on China --
- There is a massive program to control content on the Internet. We
have dealt with the "Great Firewall of China", which routinely
blocks
access to web sites and email that might contain controversial
content (like all of www.wikipedia.org, and my own
www.ManifestSpirit.com). Strangely, from most locations in China,
access to .hk (Hong Kong) web sites is re-routed to www.gov.cn. We
have heard that this Great Firewall employs some 30
_thousand_Chinese.
The blocks described don't seem to be in place. No wholesale
rerouting of .hk sites has been noted, at least from Shanghai, nor is
access to the author's web site blocked. Of course, mileage varies
in these kinds of tests -- what's blocked in one place may not be in
another, and what's blocked one day may be opened the next. ...JZ
