ROME - A new battle in an already long list, including the Chinese government and Google. This time, however, as it was feared for some time, the target of attacks is Gmail, the popular email service that has many hundreds of thousands of people even within the Great Wall. That for the past two weeks complaining about difficulties in accessing and using the service.
The warning comes from the British newspaper Guardian. There is obviously no certainty on the direct responsibility of Beijing, but Google claims to have fully investigated and found not to have internal problems. The fineness of the attack in the hacker would bring up the block "like a bug with Gmail," said Mountain View.
So as to disorient the user and the same American company, but it reaffirms the integrity of the systems. The causes of abnormal behavior of the second Big G Gmail soon to be found elsewhere. Blocking Gmail is another move on the chessboard which is between Beijing and Google.
The most violent confrontation goes back about a year ago, when Google moved the services of the search engine on the domain of Hong Kong, to counter the censorship imposed by the Chinese government. Then there was the announcement of Google's decision to leave China, then a reverse half of the American giant, and even then a cease-fire between the Chinese Government and Big G.
But to date, Beijing continues to block YouTube and other social web services like Twitter and Facebook. The result is that Google, in a land that has 457 million web users, gradually loses market. In favor of Baidu, local search engine. Although the goal of the blocks does not seem to be both economic domination, as the free flow of information.
Even Witopia, a web service that allows you to bypass part of the Chinese censorship, it failed in recent times when not out of reach. "It 's a block that is getting closer," said Charles Mok, a division of Hong Kong Internet Society of China. "Sites and content that until recently the government turned a blind eye, are now censored and filtered, and gradually closing the vise," said Mok.
A policy which is not surprising, since the People's Daily, a newspaper controlled by partitoco Communist China, Google is defined as "a tool for expansion and hegemony American", which would contribute to broadcasting "subversive" contributory cause of the riots in the Middle East.
