Adventures in Censorship

My blog is now blocked in China - if you try to access it from a computer here you get nothing. How does that happen? The internet police, a group as large as 30,000 people according to some estimates, have flagged my site. This group sits by computers scouring the internet for objectionable material suchas pornography or incindary comments about the government. They are also the folks who make sure you can't access a few harmless websites like the BBC or Wikipedia (or my blog) from inside China. Fortunately I can still post and will continue to do so as long as the internet police stay away from me.
