Apr 23, 2009 - 10:01AM

Apr 23, 2009 - 10:32AM

Margutta says Does "banned" mean friends in China can't plurk anymore?
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:33AM

Rikke says thats crazy...but then again it is China
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:37AM

Sioplet says if ur in the territory of China u cant plurk
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:37AM

amix Margutta_G: yeah, they can't access anything on Plurk
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:44AM

doublentendre says hmm. did the ban came from the government? or did some hacker crash plurk in china?
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:52AM

Schwarz says I don't think a hacker can crash a service in a particular area. It is either crashed or it isn't...
Apr 23, 2009 - 10:56AM

Olivia Bell Can you do anything about it?
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:02AM

Steph says WHAT?
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:02AM

Stepwise wonders what can be done? Diplomacy...?
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:11AM

HoldMe Diplomacy isn't in vocabulary of the Chinese Government
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:11AM

amix Stepwise: we will try to contact the China gov. It's very unlikely thought that we will bow down for censorship of free speech
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:13AM

Olivia Bell asks Is Twitter available in China?
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:14AM

HoldMe amix, we're waiting for your news

Sioplet says *twitter
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:16AM

amix oliviabell: Twitter isn't banned, but other sites such as wordpress.com and youtube have been banned in the past
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:17AM

amix one can use following site to test out if a site is banned in China: www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:19AM

HoldMe
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:22AM

Stepwise : amix - good luck in the discussions...
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:23AM

Olivia Bell amix: Woah, wordpress.com is banned?! They're really harsh!
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:25AM

HoldMe we can do something?
Apr 23, 2009 - 11:29AM

土豆王 but why don't plurk support HTTPS connection?
Apr 23, 2009 - 12:34PM

Altreus notes that nothing the Chinese government can do can stand up against the things the Chinese people can do.
Apr 23, 2009 - 12:34PM

Altreus says If the Chinese people want to.
Apr 23, 2009 - 12:56PM

tOmMyanG the ban is because some plurkers from taiwan want to be independent, and their plurks were discovered by the Spiders of the Gov.
Apr 23, 2009 - 12:56PM

tOmMyanG so they blocked Plurk.com by adding it to the GFW
Apr 23, 2009 - 12:58PM

Apr 23, 2009 - 01:10PM

tOmMyanG that's why we ask 4 a https connection to prevent the Spiders of PRC gov from finding the plurks
Apr 23, 2009 - 01:11PM
