The post about Zhao Ziyang on cnblog was orderred to remove

Eventually, the hosting service of cnblog was warned by net police for the post about Zhao Ziyang. The system in darkness does work in it’s own way, but foolish and simple. CNBlog team has to remove the post from homepage and archive. There are already 400+ comments for the short message about Mr.Zhao’s passsing away. This time the power law of Google page ranking show it’s double side effect again. Will social networking based P2P system really solve the problem and win the game in the future?

*update: China cracks down on rights activists

Isaac’s sex blog?

For those who care about my sexual orientation, please visit my bookmarks tagged with “sex” on del.icio.us. ;)

Sometimes, I also visit other’s sex related content but would like to enjoy my sex life in a private space instead of blogging it here or there. :D

post about Zhao Ziyang was hided on cnblog

Chedong
SMS me that he has marked the post about mourning Zhao Ziyang on cnblog to “draft”. He explained that it’s dangerous. Now the post shows only the body of content without displaying any comments. I don’t think cnblog the site is more valuable than people’s voice(maybe it’s the only place they can express their feeling in China from my random observation on the number of comments in these two days).

We never delete or modify any post on cnblog before even with many sensitive events(e.g. some posts about censorship). Sometimes we asked guest bloggers writing on cnblog to reconsidering their remarks, but we won’t change their post even with our natural privilige on system. So I hope Chedong(as our new technical administrator of the site) can explain to the author and more people to get their understanding to keep open and free cutlure in cnblog. Please do it, chedong.

Keywords filtering by Chinese blog hosting services

The report cooked by Open Net Initiative project, Berkman Center of Harvard Law School. A good start to study censorship on Chinese blogosphere like other studies from Berkman Center(e.g. the google censorship). Somewhat not up-to-date to the hosting service list.

Derek, ONI director, commented in email to me:

ONI found that three of the largest Chinese blogs (blogbus, blogcn, and blogdriver) now filter certain keywords from posts. Blogdriver’s filtering is particularly strong. This new blocking likely validates blogs as an important news and discussion medium in China, since they are now important enough to attract filtering attention.

The comments on Zhao’s passing flow into Chinese blogosphere

There are more and more comments to the small piece of message about Zhao Ziyang’s passing away on cnblog, seems it’s the only way that people can express themselves in China’s cyberspace.

At the same time, CPC on Tuesday defended its treatment again from spokeman KongQuan, so weak but stubborn as before.
