I like the 'Pink 'un'. Heck, it's the only newspaper I actually pay for at the office. So, I was intrigued to see the piece Friday from their Tech Blog about how they now appear to be banned in China, a victim of the GFW.
They direct readers to a site I haven't looked at before which lets you see whether you're blocked: GreatFireWallofChina.org.
I certainly have some sympathy with the following comment:
The action against a single corner of the FT's site is also a reminder of the growing technical sophistication of the commissars. They are already targeting particular entries in Wikipedia. How long before the news sections of international papers start getting cut up by the censors' digital scissors?
