| While we may be big in Japan, we are, much like the Albany Times Union, apparently banned in China. After reading about how the TU somehow earned the distinction of being banned by the Chinese internet cops, I decided to enter our URL in to the Great Firewall of China site to see if they had it in for the albany project as well. Sure enough:
Honestly I'm not sure why they would block us. Even though I absolutely loathe the Chinese regime, it's not like I write about it here. I'm curious to know what caught their eye.
Then again:
According to their stats, more than 155,000 sites have been tested. I ran a few more through it and found that the state Senate and Assembly are both blocked, as are Hillary Clinton's and Eliot Spitzer's campaign sites. Rudy Giuliani's isn't blocked.
To recap: The Chinese government thinks that this site as well as the sites of the Governor and our junior Senator are bad, bad, bad, but Rudy is A-OK.
Funny, that. |
