I have watched the Nytimes from online for a long time,but recent couple days I cann't access Nytimes anymore.I'm really pissed off.It seems that their website is blocked by the GFW again!

More ridiculous,I even got an alert from Nytimes which said "China Is Said to Restore Blocks on Web Sites ", I donn't know what to say now

[liberalgirl]

Are you in China now Shenlu? What's GFW? It is very unreasonable they block overseas websites again.

[shenlu54]

I live in mainland.GFW=Great FireWall
I cann't believe they would do these ugly things after the Olympics,but it is happening now,today......
BTW, blogspot is always inaccessible even during the Olympic games.BUt it's okey,I don't surf in that website,but nytimes......my god,they go too far.

liberalgirl,from your posts I guess you are a mainlander too,because you are so acquainted with china socity,history,knowing how we teach children,how people think.Those from outside usually don't know that much.

Yeah I came from mainland too, nice to meet u, how do u come to this website? It's not been blocked in China?

Probably they havn't noticed this website,lol.

And yes,Independent,Guardian,Wall Street Journal and finacial times are all not blocked,CNN and bbc are fine too,it seems Nytimes is the only one which is blocked by GFW in the mainstreet media.It's quite a little weird now:?:

It's funny that they unblock the website today.here is the link to NYtimes:China Unblocks The Times’s Web Site

Nytimes even press an announcement

While it is quite good that they unblocked it again, I am sorry that you live in a country which can so freely block websites from their citizens. If New Zealand was to ever propose such a move, I (like many others here) would strongly protest it. Although I am fortunate enough to have the political freedom to do so here.

As for the New York Times itself, from watching their videos on their World podcast they do not seem to be anti-China. I have seen negative and positive stories relating to China.

The thing is that proxy servers can be used so easily. If the Chinese really want to hear a story, they'll find a way.

It is constantly watched and usually unsafe.

SSH is always an option - albeit a bit complex to install and set up.

The above poster is correct...if we really want to see something, there are always methods available with varying degrees of security and confidentiality.

The commonfolk will remain under the information control of the CCP but those who know otherwise are, and have been doing these types of things for years.

How strict do they monitor your web traffic? I just finished The book, The Shadow Factory and its a little scary
