Gmail blocked in China Reuters Beijing, December 29, 2014 Google Incs Gmail was blocked in China after months of disruptions to the worlds biggest email service, with an anti-censorship advocate suggesting the Great Firewall was to blame. Large numbers of Gmail web addresses were cut off in China on Friday, said GreatFire.org, a China-based freedom of speech advocacy group. Users said the service was still down on Monday. I think the government is just trying to further eliminate Googles presence in China and even weaken its market overseas, said a member of GreatFire.org, who uses a pseudonym. Imagine if Gmail users might not get through to Chinese clients. Many people outside China might be forced to switch away from Gmail. Googles own Transparency Report, which shows real-time traffic to Google services, displayed a sharp drop-off in traffic to Gmail from China on Friday.
