Didn't realize the word JASMINE / 茉莉花 had been banned from Chinese internet, or that Gmail had been blocked: Reuters:

Google said any difficulty users in China may have faced in the past few weeks accessing its email service was likely to be the result of government blocks, a Google spokeswoman said in a statement.

"There is no issue on our side, we have checked extensively," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "This is a government blockage carefully designed to look like the problem is with Gmail."

Gmail users in China said they were still able to log in to their accounts, but were unable to perform tasks such as sending email and accessing their address books.

The first thing authoritarians do is censor. Like ignorant motherfuckers make you sign a non-compete, etc. What wonderful, marvelous, knowledge-filled world might we not build together, if the instincts of the ignorant motherfuckers were thwarted?
