SlideShare is offline right now. If you want to know the backstory and learn what’s been going on for the past week, read this TechCrunch story. We want you to know that we care about the freedom of speech and do not arbitrarily take content down.

Thanks for all of you who have written in with your message of support. This is a tough time for us and we really appreciate knowing that you are with us. We should be back on air very soon. If you are missing SlideShare, add a note, comment here….

    Don’t let these blinded chinese bug you. They are stuffed with their government’s propaganda and cannot see clear.

    The thing is … it’s not like China behaves so aggressively towards Tibet beacause they *want*, but they *must*. Same as with the famous “Taiwan Laws”: These laws have been imposed to block the rich provinces in China from getting independent, not beacause of Taiwan. Examples for rich provinces striving for independence, or at least more power within the chinese government: Guangdong province and the greater Shanghai area. The Chinese government is actually shaking of fear.

    Taiwan and Tibet are just presented as the bad guys. Funny thing that those weird Chinese hackers are too dumb to find that out ;)

    Oh, and as a German, I want to add something regarding the chinese interpretation of olympic games being non-political … ever watched “triumph of the will” by Leni Riefenstahl?

    Since the 1936 games in Berlin, Olympics cannot be separated from politics.

    Lets see how the yellow aryans are going to perform 8)

    Hooray for free speech. The kids will soon get bored.

    If only all large companies were as clearcut about freedom of speech. You guys are setting a great example for the whole internet. Major high 5.

    And good news - things seem fine now.

    They may seem fine to you, but all I can get is the oops message, can’t get the homepage or anything.

    But as long as someone is sticking up for freedom of speech, I can put up with the inconvenience.

    Stick to your guns.

  10. Pam says:

    Yeah, still done here too. Wish those guys would get tired and go home so the rest of us could get on with using your great service. Can’t wait till things are back to normal!

  11. Pam says:

    should have been “still DOWN here”
    Argh!

  12. Ladybug says:

    So early in the evening and pushing wrong buttons Pam. Shame on you. But I’ll let you off this time. 10.26 AM down here in Oz land on Anzac Day.

    At least I now know it’s nothing to do with my box of tricks. Have a nice evening.
