Chinese Government Appears To Be Blocking GitHub Via DNS

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 21, 2013 @09:25AM from the not-for-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Reports are coming in that the social coding site GitHub has been blocked in China. While the service has seen blocks in the country before, this appears to be a much broader denial of service, affecting most, if not all users in the world's most populous country online and offline. GitHub released a statement saying: 'GitHub is still investigating, but it does appear that we’re at least being partly blocked by the Great Firewall of China. We’re looking into it, and will update with more information when we have it.'"

Time was when politicians in most Western countries would point at the Great Firewall of China as an example of a repressive regieme. Now they seek to emulate it.
