Finally the Government has stopped google.com search engine too Anyone from China, are you facing the same problem. I cannot even access the search engine page, so sad Gmail is working but very slow !!!
After the recent action of Google to not oblige with any form of censorship or restriction, this step was pretty much anticipated. But I wonder why would gmail be stopped? Doesn't the Chinese govt. have problem with only Google SE... or are they looking to completely black out Google... lock, stock and barrel? Regards, RightMan
To be honest, Google will lose out by not compromising with the Chinese governments requests. China is the most populated country in the world, think of how much traffic Google are going to lose through this. Baidu stock investors will be very happy though. xD
I also had anticipated it, however gmail is working - not stopped, but it seems to be pretty slow than the speed which I had earlier.
They were already in a big loss because of baidu search engine being so popular among the locals, thatz one of the reason they backed out from the country. Ofcourse, no doubt the baidu stock investors must be enjoying their victory. But I think, its both a loss - loss situation in a long run.
No dear, please dont say that, even if they do, all the videos and international news will obviously be restricted in that search engine. The main aim of the government to stop the search engine was to not allow any locals to access the various youtube videos, tweets, diggs and facebook groups which talk and show examples which are against them. So even if China launches a new search engine for International users, I doubt it will be allowed to have access for the locals.
I was really enjoying some free proxy till a month ago, but now they are all charging few dollars per month. Its really riduculous, when the rest of the world can enjoy so many things alongwith some few bucks for internet connections, we have to pay for enjoying those things. And you know what, I am really really scared if at all DP is blocked what should do ??? There will be no other way but to access DP by some proxy and the very next moment I might get thrown out from here as the ip address changes Hope this never happens... !!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would they block DP? Anyway try proxy.org there are plenty of free and cool proxy. I love using daveproxy.co.uk. Very nice and fast.
Hey thanks for a new proxy address, actually i was using thefreevpn.com which was really great, but they stopped giving free service since last two months. About DP, I meant you never know what the government's next move might be ?
Yes thatz what we have been talking about, baidu stock investors must definately be having a great party.
I think the chinese govournemt shouldnt be so restrictive over the content users see .. thats what the internet is for stop trying to overpower peoples lives
Because of threads like this that complain about the Chinese government. Everyone in China knows that speaking against the government will cost you big-time. That is why it is so important for US citizens to appreciate and if necessary fight for, our right to free speech.
