China Blocks Access to TaxProf Blog

Ann_muprhy_3Tax Prof Ann Murphy (Gonzaga), in China on a Fulbright Scholarship, reports that the government has decided to block all access to TaxProf Blog:

I had hoped it would not happen, but the Chinese government has decided to block your [blog]. I am so bummed!! I’m hoping it’s a temporary thing. I still get your emails, but can’t access the site. They block a lot of blogs, so I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long to happen.

(Ann is to the left in the picture taken at the Great Wall (to the right is Ann’s Gonzaga colleague, Mary Pat Treuthart). See here and for a discussion of the problem.

Update:  Jack Balkin notes that some other law prof blogs (e.g., Althouse, Balkinization, Chicago Faculty Blog, Conglomerate, and Leiter Law School reports) are also banned in China, but that others (e.g., Becker-Posner, BlackProf, Business Associations, Concurring Opinions, Election Law, Feminist Law Professors, How Appealing, InstaPundit, Lessig, Mirror of Justice, PrawfsBlawg, SCOTUSBlog, and Volokh Conspiracy) are not.
