inside Iran :: Flickr is blocked in China? Bypass it Iranian way

I'm Jadi. A 27 years old from Tehran / Iran. I blogged for years at my farsi weblog (www.jadi.net) but these days I'm FILTERED in my own country so I have to write here in english. It's shame but it is the situation !

I am keeping an eye on freedom of expression, censorship, internet filtering and ...

Note: english IS NOT my native language. I'm not good at it. But I think writing in poor english is much more BETTER THAN not writing at all. But I'll be glad reciveing friendly editorial, spelling, grammer, ... comments and I'll fix and learn.

Flickr is blocked in China? Bypass it Iranian way

At first I saw it on boingboing.net; Authorities in China blocking Flickr images? and then on the Cnet. San Francisco Chronicle also writes:

Flickr not even flickering in China
Internet photo site says service is being blocked and hopes it's only temporary

The popular Internet photo site Flickr said that its service is being blocked in China, although the Yahoo subsidiary did not directly blame the Beijing government, which aggressively censors the Internet of material it deems subversive.

We had a same problem in Iran for about one year but we had a FireFox based solution: Access Flickr! plugin. This plugin is written by Hamed Saber and after installing it and restarting Firefox, let's you access the flickr once more :) Good luck.

Hey Jadi, I made a banner for Hamed Saber's add-on (see it at http://tenpercent.wordpress.com/) after I noticed lots of Chinese links coming in looking for it. As I wrote Hamed saves saves the Chinese form the great firewall of China!
