Twitter and Facebook Blocked in China

Pretty impressed that the Chinese gov’t would block both Facebook and Twitter.  I understand the “logic” behind blocking Twitter (and youtube); it’s a tool to broadcast ideas.  But Facebook is similar to email, more a communication tool to your network than a broadcast tool to the world.

The web is still an equalizer, but seems to come with some caveats here in China.
