Excellent URL Chris -

Looks like they are in the first stages of stopping Chinese internet users from freely searching the net or hearing anything the government don't like.

So they've blocked http://www.amnesty.org and I see that the Chinese have even blocked MSN.com - despite the big deal they did with Gates (last year?). They haven't blocked the Telegraph.co.uk though - maybe thats a side of westerners that they want their citizens to see

no worries. found it on the bbc site

I think amnesty.org was the first thing they blocked
