Hi Nadim,

I can confirm Philipp's report - everything looks fine from my vantage
point, too (Shanghai). The IP I see is 173.236.253.117, which is the
same as from Europe. https access is possible.

I wouldn't trust GreatFire.org's throttling metric - they had listed one
of my private sites as throttled once, too, and I really cannot imagine
why anyone should want to throttle that boring thing. ;)

Anyway, GreatFire is doing good stuff, but due to the nature of their
project, there is no way they can release exact information how they
measure, and thus for others to check.

Ralph

PS: While I was at it, I checked the current DNS rewriting for
twitter.com. It still points to a Korean IP.
