Reddit Blocked In China (qz.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Quartz: Many Reddit users in China who tried to access the social network this weekend were slightly annoyed to find the company's site and app weren't working. But in China, it's second nature for internet users to turn on their VPNs, and in almost no time at all, they were surfing the "front page of the internet" again. According to users' posts, the crackdown appeared to have started on Friday (Aug. 10). By today (Aug. 13), more people said they were able to access Reddit again. Many, however, report that Reddit remains behind the Great Firewall for them. Comparitech, a tool that checks if a domain is blocked in China, continues to show that reddit.com is not accessible via regular internet access, but reachable over VPN. It's unclear if geography is a factor for why some people are and aren't able to access the site.

Re:Now if we could only get it blocked...

You know how I block site that I do not like? By complaining. Oh wait, no. By not going there.
Yet I understand that there are people behind you with a gun to your head that force you to go there.

Unfortunately I will not be able to call the police and talk about a hostage situation. That went horrible the last time people did that.
