Facebook blocked in China

For the latest updates on the state of Twitter, please go to Danwei’s Net Nanny Follies category.

Danwei readers in Beijing reported earlier today that Facebook seemed to be blocked. It was accessible in Shanghai this afternoon, but now seems to be blocked nationwide.

There’s more about this in a post by Sky Canaves on the Wall Street Journal blog.

Meanwhile, in further China Olympic lock down news, Mei Fong reports on the Journal‘s blog:

Beastly Traffic

Beijing’s International Center for Veterinary Services says as of today its Royal Canin dog food suppliers will be unable to truck in deliveries from its Tianjin warehouse. And there won’t be any new deliveries of its food – a specialized brand typically sold at pet stores and by vets – until September.

One world, one dream.

Update 1: (July 2) Facebook is working again.

Update 2: Or perhaps not; see comments to this post.
