LMAO the infamous internet censorship in China got a bit messed up. apparently it blocked then unblocked duke.edu for some myterious reasons. gotta love the quote!

“We don’t know for sure why it got blocked, and we also don’t know how it got unblocked,” said Gilbert Merkx, vice provost for international affairs.

maybe someone screwed up? it’s all a mystery. since no outside source knows a complete list of sites being blocked and their reasons, mistakes can not be tracked. censorship is common but most of the time they do have some reasons.
