Was listening to BBC and there was something about the events of Tioman (I'm not sure about the spelling) Square in China. I've heard about that event for a long time. I believe China sensors that website from it's citizens. So I tried to google and nothing related to the event came up. I could have mis-spelled Tioman so I was hopping for suggestions for the true spelling. Could this also be censored in Kenya? If someone has a link to something that points to the Tioman events then send me the link. I'm curious about the event. 8~)
Wesley, I believe you meant Tiananmen Square .. There's quite a load of stuff on the Net about it.. Kind Regards, John H Mwangi, "...... Do not be afraid.

@Wesley, China censors access to websites to its citizens at the international gateway level, but accessing blocked sites is possible if you know what you are doing (ie. use a proxy). I run a non-profit called committeetoprotectbloggers.org check it out for loads of info about China's censorship methods and other blogger info (arrests, threats,jailings etc).

On the same topic, ChinaSmack is a blog compiling hot Chinese topics as well as comments... Subject is often controversial and content removed by Chinese authority within day, luckily ChinaSmack archive the content to shows the real view of Chinese users. http://www.chinasmack.com/ Peperuka On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 2:10 PM, Victor Ngeny <victormaritim@gmail.com> wrote:
