I have only a Chinese version yet: #lvba #greendam

当GFW遭遇微博客（1）

In this first article, I try to analysis the huge impact of the uprising of micro-blogging  services towards the Great Firewall (GFW), which is created by the Chinese government to censor the Chinese Internet. My website was blocked by the GFW from August 2008 to May 2009, so during that period, the users from China mainland could not directly access my website. Whenever they tried to connect to any page in jiruan.net, their web browsers would get a “The Connection Has Been Reset” error message.

I will argue that the micro-blogging services are making the GFW more difficult to stop the information flow to Chinese people. I believe that this is the very reason that recently Chinese government requested all the pc vendors in China install a censorship software called “Green Dam + Youth Escourt” by 1st July.
