Several internet users report that Danwei has currently access problems in China and seems to have triggered off an IP-block by the internet nanny, as Danwei calls the censor itself. We have seen in the recent past more of those erratic surprise blocks that were mostly over by the next morning.
What I think is happening that the filter systems has been partly automated and triggers off an IP-block when it notices a "banned" word. At the current frontpage I see for example both the T-word and the c-word in their recently introduced news aggregator. Wonder whether it will be over again tomorrow.

I am just coming from DANWEI. No problem for me today. However before the Golden Week, end of April, it took hours to get the site loaded.
Is it possible that the filter works by area? A friend of mine in Shanghai reported several times problems to access my blog at blogspot. However, me, in Beijing, never had problems with blogspot. Strange... I am not an IT expert. Any idea?
