There should be some kind of support group for internet users in China. Can you get Google? Is
this site blocked? When will Hotmail start working? Is someone reading my emails?

Anyway, haven't been able to get any Google services this morning, bar Google.cn - is anyone else
seeing this? Or is it just me? Am I paranoid? Are they watching me . . .

I can get Google right now, but I have had trouble with it on and off for the past couple of days.
Don't know what's up with it.

google.com has been unreachable this morning from Beijing, unless with a proxy.
google.com.cn is still reachable.

Shanghai: google.co.uk has been sporadic the whole week, on and off, more on than off, works after
several refreshes.

For me, google.cn is inaccessible and redirects to google.com [which is sporadic], though others
say google.cn working and other googles inaccessible. Perhaps depends on isp?

I might sound cynical, but surely it's a matter of time before other country googles are blocked?
Otherwise what would have been the point in enforcing filtering on google.cn.?

If google.co.uk is blocked it will be very 麻煩 as UKers need it for UK-specific searches.
Good-bye, Google.co.uk? We have shared so much together...

Hotmail and MSN started working again this week in Shanghai.

I wouldn't write anything in an email which you could be potentially compromising, after I met an
Aussie woman whose friend was teaching English who told me how he got into some trouble, and the
Police had a print-out of this guy's hotmail.True.

Moved posts on the bbc and gmail to other topics - it's my thread and I'm keeping it clean

Roddy
PS Mainly because there's nothing else I can do when Google isn't working.

Sorry, Roddy...

It does also cause real problems for me as when I am doing a translation I Google the hardest
terms with some English thrown in and Google usually gives me a translation.

I had problems opening google.com yesterday and today in Shenzhen. I'd just installed
GustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox and had been wondering if that was the problem. Obviously
not! I've never had problems with google.com before. I hope we're not being forced onto google.cn!

I don't think so, it just came back for me for several minutes - of course I didn't even think
'wow, Google's back' - I just took it for granted until it disappeared again. My guess would be
network issues somewhere along the line rather than a deliberate block of any kind.

Translating without Google's a major hassle, especially if you deal with a lot of . . . well . . .
words . . .

Google [Anonymoused]

that is google through anonymouse, which seems to be working. it is a little slower and there are
ads, but it works.
