Blocking of Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Blogger deprives Chinese of
Web 2.0

Reporters Without Borders is outraged by the blockage of a dozen
websites such as Twitter, YouTube, Bing, Flickr, Opera, Live,
Wordpress and Blogger in China two days ahead of the 20th anniversary
of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

“The Chinese government stops at nothing to silence what happened 20
years ago in Tiananmen Square,” Reporters Without Borders said. “By
blocking access to a dozen websites used daily by millions of Chinese
citizens, the authorities have opted for censorship at any price
rather than accept a debate about this event.”

Chinese Internet users have notified Reporters Without Borders that
access to Twitter, YouTube, Bing, Flickr, Opera, Live, WordPress and
Blogger began being blocked today inside China.

Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Blogger bloqués : les Chinois privés du Web
2.0

Reporters sans frontières est scandalisée par le blocage d’une
dizaine de sites tels que Twitter, YouTube, Bing, Flickr, Opera,
Live, WordPress ou Blogger à la veille de la commémoration du
vingtième anniversaire de la répression de la place Tiananmen.

“Les autorités de Pékin ne reculent devant rien pour imposer le
silence sur ce qui s’est passé, il y a vingt ans, place Tiananmen. En
bloquant l’accès à une dizaine de sites utilisés quotidiennement par
des millions d’internautes chinois, le gouvernement préfère parier
sur la censure et la sécurité à tout prix, plutôt qu’accepter un
débat sur cet important épisode de la Chine contemporaine”, a déclaré
l’organisation.

Des internautes chinois ont signalé à Reporters sans frontières que
depuis le 2 juin l’accès aux sites Twitter, YouTube, Bing, Flickr,
Opera, Live, WordPress ou Blogger est bloqué en Chine populaire.
