China freezes out Gmail, anti-censor group says

From CNET: Google's Gmail, the world's most widely used e-mail service, has been almost entirely blocked in China for the last three days.

GreatFire.org, a China-based anti-censorship group, indicated that Gmail might have been thrown outside China's firewall, accrording to Reuters.

Google's Transparency Report shows a dramatic drop in Gmail traffic to China starting Friday.

Google declined to comment on the reasons behind the drop in traffic. "We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Google spokeswoman told CNET.

A spokesman from the Consulate General of China's office in New York couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
