Chinese blog censorship update

After a quiet spell, Rebecca MacKinnon's BLOG has sprung back to life with more news of blog-blocking in China. We were in Beijing at the beginning of last week and were frustrated to have forgotten until we got there that many of the BLOGs we regularly review were inaccessible. Couldn't post here either, of course.

Stephen Baker at Business Week's Blogspotting picked up earlier this week on other drawbacks of free blogs. Much of that, though, strikes us as techno-snobbery and blog-hypery and is far less insidious and dangerous than what is happening in China.
