Brief Outage Of China's 'Great Firewall'
Allows Glimpse Of Facebook, Twitter

Web users reported an outage of China's
strict Internet controls, known as
the Great Firewall, for several hours
Monday morning, allowing them brief
access to banned Web sites such as
YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Cautious
excitement spread on some social-networking
platforms as hope flared that Internet
freedoms suddenly were being expanded after
months of intensifying scrutiny. But by the
time many woke up, strict restrictions
had returned. Error messages once again
flashed across computer screens
for sites blocked by the nation's censorship
filter.
