China’s Net Nanny has forgotten to take her meds.
In August this year, the Nanny unblocked Blogspot — Google’s popular free blog hosting service that had been inaccesible in China for several years.
In the last few days, the Nanny seems to have decided that Blogspot is not doing its part to create a harmonious Internet, so it’s back to using proxy servers when you want to read the spiritual pollutants available on one of the world’s most popular blog hosts.
The English version of Wikiepedia was unblocked in October this year. it is still accessible today in Beijing.
