BBtv viewers in China: RSS feeds said to be blocked.

We've been receiving bug reports from fans in mainland China who are telling us they are not able to subscribe to Boing Boing tv's RSS feed.

Our RSS feeds are not broken, nor are they the only ones affected, not by a long shot. According to various reports, authorities in China are taking steps to block *all* RSS feeds in an attempt to keep out information that may be critical of the nation's government. Link to item on Ars Technica.

PS: a related note to all our Chinese-speaking viewers around the world -- we're hoping to offer Chinese-subtitled versions of the show just as soon as we can.
