TV stations, newspapers, websites and even micro-blogging sites are all subject to the censor's black pen in China. But FreeWeibo shows Internet users what Chinese censors block and helps them get the data they want.

FreeWeibo: Site opens Great Firewall for China's Twitter 0,,15904735_303,00

An online micro-blogging service similar to Twitter, China's Sina Weibo boasts more than 503 million users writing millions of posts about many aspects of their daily lives - where they are shopping, what the weather's like and who they're with.

And while Twitter has become a platform for activists to discuss, plan and promote their ideas and campaigns, such material is largely absent from Sina Weibo. Posts that don't line up with the government's agenda can be removed by censors before they reach a large audience.

But a Web service called FreeWeibo has developed a way for people to find out what the censors are removing from Sina Weibo as a part of the so-called Great Firewall that separates Internet users in China from each other, and the rest of the online world.

"FreeWeibo lets you search Sina Weibo and gives uncensored results," Carl Lee, a Barcelona-based representative for GreatFire - the group that runs FreeWeibo - told DW.
