well looks like i am done in this thread, China has seen it to be necessary to block *.google.com, and yahoo images now. I guess you aren't allowed to look at pictures in China now.
Yeah, I just left China on Monday, but I was reading about China's quarrel with google while I was there.
Yeah, god forbid some one glimpse a nipple, all of China will implode. Not that people can't get pr0n through Baidu, but i think blocking these sites is combined retaliation for US filing WTO complaint with the Green Dam software, and to show how necessary Green Dam is "to protect the Children". "If we can't have Green Dam we will have to block all image search in China to protect against the sea of foreign pornography flooding across our borders" Supposedly parts of Shanghai have service from google. a paid VPN is starting to look mandatory here just to do my job as an English teacher. The worst is my lesson plans for Sunday that I spent about 3 hours on the other day, are on Gdocs.
