Publishing platform Medium may be blocked in China, reports say

Blogging site possibly inaccessible since early this week after post about Panama Papers leak, which China internet regulators have moved to censor reports about

A US-based online publishing platform, Medium, has been blocked in China, according to users and tests by Reuters, the latest service to apparently be affected as Beijing exerts greater control over the internet.

Medium, which allows users, including companies and media outlets, to post blogs that readers can annotate, has been inaccessible since at least early this week, according to internet users in China and tests by Reuters using tools developed by anti-censorship watchdog GreatFire.org.
