Chinese authorities have begun blocking Chinese internet users from reading Wired.com, according to a report from the Examiner.
Internet users from Beijing to Shanghai found the site inaccessible starting Friday, reports Glenn Loveland, the Examiner’s Beijing correspondent. The block adds Wired.com to a long list of sites that are or have been considered too dangerous for Chinese net users.
UPDATE Saturday 19:45 PST: Reports of Wired.com’s demise in China may be a bit premature, as readers in several cities in China report being able to read the site. One says that urls that include the words RSS or blog are often blocked, one said we were blocked on a cell phone, while another said Wired.com was fine now but was blocked for weeks in December. We are glad to learn you all can hear Radio Free Wired.com in Beijing and Shanghai, but we promise to redouble our efforts to anger political censors around the world. /UPDATE
