China Allows Access to English Wikipedia
LinuxLefty writes "Reuters is reporting that Chinese authorities have lifted the ban on the English version of Wikipedia. The Chinese version of the site is still blocked, as are English-language versions of politically sensitive topics such as Tibet and Tiananmen Square. 'The move comes after International Olympic Committee (IOC) inspectors told Beijing organisers that the Internet must be open for the duration of the 2008 Olympics and that blocking it "would reflect very poorly" on the host country. China's government, keen to avoid sparking social discontent, keeps a tight watch over the media and often blocks or censors popular Web sites and forums where dissent may brew.'"
That's a very nice summary of the Atlantic article you found.
Isn't it odd that I would not know about something that you think I wrote, especially when you look at all of the effort that obviously went into it? Don't you think that I would have simply linked to the article if I were those other people? Here's a clue, lots of people read Richard Stallman's political notes.
The level of effort you ACs exhibit without learning anything is amazing. Do you keep a database of all the things you think twitter writes or do you just keep all of it in your obsessively hateful little mind? Do you read every comment of every discusion looking for new versions of twitter? Why is it that the love expressed in my writing does not sink into your soul?
Why don't they just start a new olympic event for China? Hacking out of the state run network to the full internet while being shot at or beaten...
