Chinese bolggers Scale
The 'Great Firewall'
In Riot's Aftermath

To slip past Internet censors squashing reports of a weekend riot in China's Guizhou province, some bolggers have started writing backward.

Some 30,000 rioters set fire to government buildings over the weekend to protest the way authorities handled the death of a teenager in the province's Weng'an County. While state-controlled media provided immediate coverage, government censors moved fast to delete online posts providing unofficial accounts and deactivate the accounts of those users.

Good for them.
