Another terrific update about our government’s puppet-masters

CNN Money reports:

China has beefed up its Great Firewall yet again, this time cracking down on virtual private networks, or VPNs, which allow users to access censored and blocked content on the web.

The action, confirmed by state media, has affected VPN providers including Astrill, Strong VPN and Golden Frog, which have all reported trouble with connectivity in China, particularly on mobile devices.

China has long blocked access to what it deems as sensitive Internet content — political commentary, foreign news outlets and sites like Google. Access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are also blocked in China.
