I have yet to hear anyone provide first-hand confirmation that<br>
access to Freenode's IRC servers is explicitly blocked by the<br>
mainland Chinese government. There has been a lot of speculation<br>
that the usual draconian corporate firewall policies (surprise, the<br>
rest of the World gets to struggle with those too, it's not just a<br>
problem in China) are blocking a variety of messaging protocols from<br>
workplace networks and the people who encounter this can't tell the<br>
difference because they're already accustomed to much of their other<br>
communications being blocked at the border. I too have heard from<br>
someone who's heard from someone that "IRC can't be used in China"<br>
but the concrete reasons why continue to be missing from these<br>
discussions.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks fungi, that's the crux of the problem I'd like to see discussed in the governance change.</div><div>In this change, it states the non-use of existing and official communication tools as to be "cumbersome".
