W是不是又出问题了？

Blog*Spot继8月首次解封，11月继续被封后，再次被解封。Groups里面已经很多人欢呼雀跃了。

但这次是不是GFW又出毛病了？——破GFW总是坏。

就像前段Wikipedia解封一样，大家都很高兴。维基也把放在中文版首页上”中国大陆用户很可能无法访问维基百科。若您能浏览无疑，请登陆后至状况回报。“的信息取消了，多家媒体、 国际组织、Reporters sans frontières都对此进行了报道。可惜好景不长，在解封2、3天后，维基再次被封。在这两三天的解封过程中， 2006年11月12日，中文维基百科成为了第12个拥有超过10万条目的维基百科语言版本。我不敢说封锁阻止了中文版维基的发展，但是看看维基百科创始人Jimmy Wales说的几段话：

My thinking on that is two-fold. First, it’s a huge embarassment for the censors if they block Wikipedia, because we are none of the things that they claim to want to censor. Censoring Wikipedia is an admission that it is unbiased factual information itself that frightens you. We are not political propaganda, we are not online gambling, we are not pr0n. We are an encyclopedia.

The argument that Jimbo put forward in his talk in Tunis at the World Summit on the Information Society can be summarized as follows:

1. Wikipedia is neither critical nor supportive of the Chinese government. We are not a website for dissidents nor for government supporters. We are neutral. NPOV is non-negotiable. It is impossible to portray Wikipedia as anti-Chinese government unless the Chinese government wants to argue that neutral information is anti-Chinese government, and I don’t think that’s what they intend to say at all.

2. It isn’t *just* that Chinese people cannot read any of Wikipedia, most of which is not about political or sensitive topics at all. It is that Chinese people are unable to *express* their views and culture in the Chinese Wikipedia or English Wikipedia or anywhere else, so long as Wikipedia is blocked. Since, I am told, the Chinese wikipedians tend to have more of a “mainland” view of things, as compared to Chinese living in Taiwan or Hong Kong, the ironic effect of the Chinese censorship is to censor the mainland perspective on world affairs.

It is fine to criticize the Chinese government for censorship of criticism. But my argument was not about that at all, since we are not critics of the Chinese government. My argument was that censoring Wikipedia in China is ironically censoring *the rest of the world* from hearing the voice of the Chinese people.

我希望以好的观点去看待这次解封，希望如此。

想当初Blog*Spot也是在解封之后2个月重新被封，不太敢说将来会怎样

PS：这篇文章躺在draft里面好几天了。迟迟没有发出的原因，是怕这篇文章又会违反什么。唉，想想几乎已成定局的博客实名制……如果每个博客作者都要在文章发表前，想想是否会违反什么，什么该说，什么不该说……博客还要博客吗？互联网还叫互联网吗？
