Real-Time Testing of China's Internet Filters

Posted by chrisd on from the but-do-they-block-wigu dept.

mrbnsn writes "The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School is conducting a study of Internet filtering in countries worldwide. As part of this study, they have put up a web page where you can get a real-time report on whether any URL you submit is blocked by the Great Firewall. Check whether you'd be able to read your favorite web sites in Beijing!" I've also heard that there are some "western" hotels that have non-blocked connections. Anyone from China care to tell us what it's like?

    oh stop fantasizing that kur05hin is some rebellious super site. It's just a bunch of ultra politically correct quasi intellectual wanking. No one gives a shiat, ok. Why would the spelling have anything to do with it? If they looked at the site and decided they didn't want their countrymen reading this western trash they would already know how to spell it by the fact that they fucking had to visit it to judge the content. dumb asses.
