Big Brother

I was about to write a new article today, I prepared some pictures to illustrate it last night, but unfortunately, due to the anniversary of the Tian'anmen massacre (or protest, or uprising, or anyway you want to call it), in order to preserve order in China during this painful anniversary, and also to prevent groups of people from organizing more protests, the Chinese governement blocked some websites in Mainland China, and one of these is Flickr, the image-sharing website that I use to store my pictures. I hope the authorities will unblock Flickr soon, so I can go on updating my blog. Interestingly, the English language Wikipedia article on the 1989 events at Tian'anmen Square is not blocked and therefore can be accessed from China. But access to the same article in any other language is closed.

J'allais ecrire un nouvel article aujourd'hui. Hier, dans la nuit, j'ai prepare quelques photos pour l'illustrer, mais malheureusement, en raison du 20e anniversaire du massacre de Tian'anmen (ou protestations, mouvement, evenements ou quelque soit le nom que l'on y donne), afin de garder l'ordre en Chine durant ce douloureux anniversaire et aussi pour eviter que des groupes de gens n'organisent de nouvelles protestations, quelques sites web ont ete bloques en Chine continentale, et l'un d'eux est Flickr, le site de partage d'images que j'utilise pour entreposer mes images. J'espere que les autorites vont bientot debloquer Flickr pour que je puisse continuer a actualiser mon blog. Fait interessant: la version anglaise de l'article de Wikipedia sur les evenements de 1989 a la Place Tian'anmen n'a pas ete bloque et est donc accessible depuis la Chine. Mais l'acces aux memes articles mais dans d'autres langues a ete bloque.

Hoy dia yo iba a escribir un nuevo articulo y anoche yo prepare algunas fotos para ilustrarlo, pero desafortunadamente, por las protestas de 1989 en la plaza Tian'anmen y con el fin de conservar el orden en China durante este doloroso aniversario, y tambien para evitar que grupos organicen otras protestaciones, el gobierno chino bloqueo algunos sitios en China continental y uno de estos sitios es Flickr, que uso para poner mis fotos. Espero que las autoridades pronto van a deshacer el bloqueo de Flickr para que yo pueda continuar actualizando mi blog. Lo interesante es que la version inglesa del articulo de Wikipedia acerca de los acontecimientos de 1989 en la Plaza Tian'anmen no ha sido bloqueado y entonces se puede acederlos desde China.

Lest we forget the protesters who lost their lives in the pursuit of their ideal. May they rest in peace.

Gardons en memoire les protestants qui ont paye de leur vie la poursuite de leurs ideaux. Puissent-ils reposer en paix.

No olvidemos de los protestantes que pagaron de su vida por la busca de su ideal. Que descansen en paz.

These pages can be accessed from China.

The Internet censorship is not total, many Western websites, even some of the most critical are still accessible from China. But the target of censorship this time seems to be social networking websites such as Twitter and Flickr (but not Facebook). I do not understand the logic behind these selective blockings...
