According to Danwei, a popular Chinese media, advertising, and urban life blog, the following sites are now blocked in China.
Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Hotmail, Live and Bing. It appears that Bing, the new Microsoft search engine is being blocked because it is “autoplaying Youtube videos when you put your mouse over them.” Twhirl is also blocked according to Kaiser Kuo, digital guru and former blogger at Ogilvy’s Digital Watch.
As reported earlier on Multilingual Search, a set of internal working documents from the censorship department at Baidu, China’s largest search engine, were recently leaked. China often blocks sites and then removes the blocks after what perhaps may be an adjustment to their filters. A China Digital Times post includes a comprehensive list of the websites that are being censored by Baidu.
