Probably a strong message to the new Yahoo! CEO from the Chinese authorities...

Jenn,
I had the same problem. I had just uploaded a half-dozen to my page when the block came down, so there are a lot with no info at all. It's maddening.

Rick, Great post. Keep up the good work.

Alex, indeed. Very interesting.

Having all the photos be blank means they might as well just block the whole damn thing. Isn't Yahoo supposed to have good relations with China?

Damnit. I am still uploading, but not being able to see the photos makes titling, tagging, etc difficult unless you upload like 3 photos at a time.

They weren't available friday at work.
I wrote up a little thingy about all this crap this morning.
Flickr Blocked: Great Firewall, your mother's in for a long night

You'd have thought my mediocre titles would have stopped by now...

From my, perhaps somewhat privileged perspective in this case, this is a great example on the level of filter levels in China. From my company's connection (massive IT company in China) I can access Flicr and view sites feeds are posted on, no eyebrows raised.

Yet from a regular ADSL connection I am too barred. Censorship on part of the ISPs but not the government? I smell a court case, if anyone has the balls?

They're available from inside China on my connection. They're not available, also inside China, on your connection. Looking into this stuff would be a nightmare, but I'd be interesting.

Yup, still blocked. Like I said above, the site loads, the photos don't. The Firewall is blocking two of Flickr's photo storage servers. I can't see the photo in the post right now, which is linked through Flickr.

(Btw, if anybody really wants to see it, drop and email to eyeseast at gmail.com and I'll email it to you.)

Is it blocked for you? It's not blocked for me.

Perhaps it just has to filter through, perhaps it was just a momentary block at a time of caution. I don't know, but at the moment I can use Flickr as usual.
