isaacmao.com blocked

Just received an email from Isaac saying that his site is blocked. I can't even access his blog from overseas.

The site of isaacmao.com has been blocked due to it's 'sensitive' content. I don't know how long it will take to return. I'm starting emgergency processes now, and will update information in this backup site. Thanks for your attention and kind queries.


Apparently, he has played a April Fools Joke on the internet police. (I don't know what that is about since I was away that time and his site no longer works.)

Isaac noted his site went into problems because of an Open Letter to the Chinese Minister of Education concerning the recent restricted public access to university BBS that he bookmarked in del.icio.us. The bookmark appeared on his site and has attracted attention from the Great Nanny as it contains sensitive words.

One of his latest entries, in Chinese, also provides new insights on how the Great Firewall works. The post is viewable inside bloglines.

Update: Global Voices has more details and the latest development on the story.
