Greatfire Keeps Tabs On Chinese Censorship, Automatically


First time accepted submitter percyalpha writes "Greatfire is a website that automatically monitors Internet censorship in China.

User reports on Herdict of websites inaccessible in China are automatically imported into our system, and our data of websites blocked in China is also exported into the Herdict database. If you ever explore the first ten pages of the Herdict database, chances are all block reports are from China and imported from our system."
