Re: [Wikimedia-l] We appear have been partially blocked in France (probably accidentally)

btw, I checked out the traffic from France over the past 30 days and I
don't see an obvious drop, so this doesn't seem to have caused a real drop.

They also added Google to the list..?

http://www.itnews.com.au/news/frances-block-of-google-for-terrorism-melts-govt-server-439591

Workaround: use the Google free DNS.

This is the more detailed writeup that Le Monde cribbed from:

http://www.nextinpact.com/news/101786-google-fr-bloque-pour-apologie-terrorisme-orange-invoque-erreur-humaine.htm

and it's hilarious, even in translation.

Orange blames "human error". Indeed.

[Wikimedia-l] We appear have been partially blocked in France (probably accidentally)

[geni]

Apparently on the orders of the french government orange added us to
their blocked terrorist sites list. This did apparently have the fun
effect of  DOS the government page people were redirected to, Source
(among others):
