Anonymouse, Comedy Central blocked in China

user3793_1168900278%282%29.jpg
It's finally happened: Anonymouse.org, the proxy service that many of us use to access blocked websites and surf the Internet anonymously, has been blocked by Net Nanny. Shanghaiist first noted it at 10:30PM last night Shanghai time, along with the block of ComedyCentral.com. While the decision to block Anonymouse is self-evident (okay, sort of), we're not completely sure why ComedyCentral got the axe. In the mean time, Shanghaiist suggests using alternative proxy services ProxyChina or Hack520.

    Amnesty International Australia is running a major campaign about Internet censorship in China. Sign the anti-censoring pledge - http://action.uncensor.com.au/pledge/ - which Amnesty will deliver to the Chinese Government and the Internet companies who assist it censorship.



    The Internet is the new frontier in the fight for universal human rights.

    Perhaps Comedy Central was blocked because of Jon Stewart and/or Stephen Colbert's coverage of China.

  • SauLaan

    Yeah, no laughing matter indeed, ripping the doors off all the privvies. Socialist peeing.

    Ultra Surf is a ultrareach product

    But need a proxy to see it.. Arf!

  • AiTuDou

    Add comedycentral.com to a bizarre long list of blocked sites that no-one can fathom out why they're prohibited.

  • Chinkerfly

    the proxy program found at that Hack520 site is actually called Ultra Surf 8.9 or 无界浏览8.9 (8.9 being the latest version release)



    The download is available at quite a few of other sites as well but I can't seem to find its official page
