Plurk has been banned in China.

Yes, you read that right. Plurk have yet to have any contact with the government, but most suspect it’s due to freedom of speech – China have also banned YouTube, wordpress.com, a part of Wikipedia, Wordpress.com and others… however Twitter seems to still be accessible in China – interesting.

Google and other big websites censor themselves in China, Google search (US) is not available, and Google search (China) is censored, along with many other websites which do the same.

Apparently Facebook and Twitter were also banned – before the Olympic games, but they are now (we believe) available to use… the question is, what did they do to get unbanned?

Snippet from Amix.dk’s blog “Plurk banned in China”

I woke up in a shock today. Plurk has been blocked by the great firewall of China. We haven’t been warned or have been in any contact with the Chinese government – - so the reason is blurry.

We think it’s very unlikely that we will censor or suppress freedom of speech of our users – as we see freedom of speech as a basic human right. It’s known thought that other big corporations such as Google, Skype, AOL etc. are censoring for the chinese government and probably indirectly putting people in jail.

We feel terribly bad for the thousands of Chinese plurkers that have been affected by this and in shock that their government can do such a bold censorship :-(

Please advise if you have any information on how to handle an unblocking.
