After Facebook, Youtube, Plurk, Twitter is now finally blocked in China. Though people have predicted this and I know it's sooner or later, it still make me so sad.
I am a super fan of Twitter and I have got nearly 4000 followers, 70% of which are from mainland China. Now I cannot talk to them and nor can they talk to me. some of our authors and readers are also very active in Twitter.
What a stupid censorship! What a shame!
FYI:
- In the "China Twitter user investigation" I made few weeks ago, more than 70% twitter users from China said they'd keep using Twitter with proxy servers. Only very few of them would consider to join other twitter-like services in China.
- Wikipedia is also blocked today!
- Bing.com and Live.com are also blocked!
- Almost all the Chinese twitter users are spreading #FUCKGFW, #FuckGFW and #fuckGFW around and it soon became the hottest Trending Topics couple of hours later!
