DIT President Bill Xia told CNN Wednesday that the Internet outage was
likely caused by China's own web censorship system, more widely known by its
infamous "Great Firewall" moniker, which controls access to content on the
Internet inside China deemed unsuitable.
China 'employs 2 million to police internet'
"Their DNS hijacking system is used to redirect visits to certain websites
to the wrong IP address," he said. "But this time it was likely a temporary
misconfiguration that affected all domain names."
According to its website, the U.S.-based company provides a range of
services including anti-censorship solutions and has worked "to provide web
access to forbidden sites for Internet users in China," with the Epoch Times
, a newspaper run by the Falun Gong, listed among its clients.
The Falun Gong is a spiritual movement that has been banned in China since
1999, accused of "spreading fallacies, hoodwinking people, inciting and
creating disturbances and jeopardizing social stability." |
