NB: sur les Photos

Ce n’est pas que je cherche à m’offrir des ennuis pour faire des aller-retour en déposant mes photos.

Je les ai mis récemment sur Flickr.com pour savoir que flickr a été "harmonisé" (censuré, pr aller plus direct) en Chine, et bcp d’autres sites étrangers (blogspot.com par ex, il parait que c’est à son tour maintenant.) n’ont pas d’accès depuis la Chine continentale. Qu’à dire? Rien. J’essaie de rester calme comme bcp d’autres Chinois. Mais ça m’a sombrie en effet; pas beaucoup, mais peu à peu.

事情是这样di, MSN传照常出问题。或许是电脑的问题.

换去flickr, 国内的朋友却说flickr同blogspot一道 « 被和谐了 ».

于是暂时还是在这发照.

真的不是我好折腾…

—————-News on Yahoo——————————

SHANGHAI – Flickr.com, one of the world’s most popular online photo-sharing s
ites and owned by Yahoo Inc., is likely being blocked by the Chinese governmen
t, Yahoo’s Hong Kong unit said on Tuesday.

Flickr — popular among a growing class of digital photo enthusiasts in the wo
rld’s second-largest Internet market — has not shown photos to users in main
land China since last week, amid rumors Beijing took action after images of th
e Tiananmen massacre in early June 1989 were posted.

“It is our understanding that Flickr users in China are not able to see image
s on Flickr, and we have confirmed that this is not a technical issue on our e
nd,” a spokeswoman for Yahoo Hong Kong said in an e-mail in response to a Reu
ters inquiry.

“It appears that the Chinese government is restricting access to Flickr, alth
ough we have not received confirmation from them,” the spokeswoman said in th
e e-mail.

“We are currently investigating this issue and hope that it is only a tempora
ry one,” she added.

Officials from China’s Ministry of Information Industry could not be reached
for comment on Tuesday.

Discussion is taboo
The Communist Party has banned references to the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square
crackdown in state media, the Internet and books as part of a whitewash campa
ign, meaning most young Chinese are ignorant of the events.

Public discussion of the massacre is still taboo in China and the government h
as rejected calls to overturn the verdict that the student-led protests were s
ubversive. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, were killed when the army crushed the
democracy movement.

A newspaper in southwest China sacked three of its editors over an advertiseme
nt saluting mothers of protesters killed in the crackdown, sources told Reuter
s last week.

Yahoo is also no stranger to challenges while operating in China, which has ov
er 140 million Web users.

Press watchdogs accused Yahoo Holdings (Hong Kong) Ltd. two years ago of provi
ding details about e-mail communications that helped identify, and were used a
s evidence against, Shi Tao, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaki
ng state secrets abroad.

Yahoo Inc. defended itself at the time by saying it had to abide by local Chin
ese laws.

Flickr also said on Monday it is moving to further internationalize its servic
e by creating versions in seven major languages besides English, including Chi
nese.
