China’s Great Firewall now blocks RSS feeds
As many of you now know, the high admins at China are blocking more and more websites to their country. Many news sites are being blocked, and blog sites as well such as Blogspot and Wordpress blogs. They are now limiting the information going through their country. But even as this sites are blocked, savvy Internet users knows a simple way to access these forbidden information. By using RSS (Real Simple Syndication) the people in the republic has complete access to news and blog sites.
Unfortunately, as of late, China is now also blocking this type of sites. They extended their great firewall to block all incoming URLs that begins with “feeds”, “rss” and “blog” thus making this syndication useless.
