“There is also the question of what the site will look like in six months or a year, if it still exists at all. But the creation of Molive is significant because in it may also be a tacit acknowledgment by the Chinese government: Technology has reached the point where the control of information - even in a country as hard-line as China - is becoming difficult and perhaps impossible.”
I’m still trying to find out what the site looks like currently. Since reading the article, I’ve been unable to access the site. A notice for server maintenance has been up for several days, with a link to the China Daily news site. Searching Chinese blogs, I’ve found screenshots of the site. The only photo that I can find on the Internet credited with molive.cn is located at China Daily.
Is “server maintenance” a euphemism for censorship? Is the popularity of Molive exceeding capacity? Until news circulates about what happened to the site, I can only speculate. Hopefully the site will be up and running soon.
