There are about 20 or 30 websites blocked in china. Not that many.

  websites aren't all equal. The top 20-30 websites in the world account for something like 90% of total internet usage.

  The Golden Shield project employs thousands of people. They do a lot more blocking than "20 or 30 websites".

  really? only 20 or 30? Hmm, I think there are more than 20 or 30 western newspapers and they probably are if not blocked then heavily censored.

    About 30 notable websites are blocked, counting from the list you posted.

      Even if an accurate representation of the firewall (which it doesn't seem ot be) are you arguing this is acceptable?

  I sometimes work with developers in China, it's pretty common for me to send a link to some tech info on a blog etc and then have to copy and email the content instead, since the site is blocked for them. Even one site I created myself, which has <10 visitors/day and barely any content was blocked at some point.
