China Blocks Twitter, Facebook
The Chinese government is at it again, blocking Twitter, removing unapproved references to last weekend’s riots in the western region of Xinjiang from search engines and banning access to Facebook. This comes two weeks after the government blocked most Google services, including Gmail, Google Apps and Google Talk, TechCrunch reported.
