Today, in a summary released by Google, the search engine and its advertising platforms have been completely blocked in mainland China. Google’s social media sites (Blogger, Picasa, and YouTube) are not also accessible on the mainland. Google News and Google image search, however, still available to some degree.
Furthermore, major social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter, have already been blocked by the Chinese authorities. Well, I guess there won’t be any social media in China anytime soon.
