China Banned Google.com again !

2009-06-24


It is June 24, 2009 today.

When I waked up I saw some members were complaining that they could not access Google.com because China banned Google.com again. This is not the 1st time.

A member posted the following DSN information about Google.com when I tested:

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1 <<>> mail.google.com +trace ;; global options: printcmd . 505116 IN NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 505116 IN NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 500 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 15 ms

GFW干的,封了解析,*.google.com 的解析都被gfw返回一个错误的ip

Fortunately Chinese people are still able to visit Google.cn.

I think the reason why China banned Google.com but no Google.cn is about that Google.com can not filter adult content which is not allowed by China government .
