防火長城，也稱中國防火牆或中國國家防火牆，是對中華人民共和國政府在其管轄網際網路內部建立的多套網路審查系統（包括相關行政審查系統）的俗稱。其名稱得自於2002年5月17日Charles R. Smith所寫的一篇關於中國網路審查的文章《The Great Firewall of China》，取與Great Wall（長城）相諧的效果，簡寫為Great Firewall，縮寫GFW，戲稱功夫網。隨著使用的廣泛，GFW已被用於動詞，GFWed是指被防火長城所屏蔽。

不要把GFW的功勞記到別人頭上

今天幾大網站顯著位置都放著一篇文章《法新路透美聯搜尋引擎遮罩抵制藏獨資訊》，想必是指定發佈的文章，堪稱奇文。
文章作者試圖在幾大通訊社的網站搜尋引擎當中，用不同關鍵字的檢索結果，來證明西方的通訊社的報導是有嚴重偏向性的。其中，“用‘dalai lama’(達賴喇嘛)搜索”，用檢索結果來認定“法新社沒有一張表現達賴集團打砸搶燒殺的新聞圖片”。這是很有意思的事，在搜索者主觀的認定當中，“打砸搶燒殺”肯定與達賴有關，官方的指控亦如此，但西方的通訊社未必會作這樣的關聯，搜不出來也不為奇。作者先入為主，倒把責任怪到別人頭上去了。
文章稱：4月19日，千龍網記者先上路透社中文網，用該網的新聞搜尋引擎，以“搶奪奧運火炬”為關鍵字進行搜索，頁面上出現的“查詢結果”顯示“沒有找到符合‘搶奪奧運火炬’的資訊，請修改查詢準則後重試”；而以“藏獨”、“打砸搶燒”等熱門關鍵字進行搜索，居然出現“該頁面無法顯示”。
就前半句而言，只能說明該文作者的搜索技術太差了。一個西文通訊社中文網的搜尋引擎，並不能指望有很好的中文分詞技術，全文匹配搜索能力也未可知，用一個長達六個字的“搶奪奧運火炬”作為關鍵字，搜不到實在不足為奇。西文通訊社中文網，不是百度，更不是穀歌。
更有意思的是後半句，作者說“居然出現‘該頁面無法顯示’”，如果作者不是活在真空裡，那就真得懷疑作者在指桑駡槐說反話了。經常使用境外搜尋引擎的人大多都知道，搜索結果碰到敏感詞，就會出現“該頁面無法顯示”，這不關路透社中文網的事，實在應把功勞記在中國的GFW上。
(Ramblings of a Drunkard blog) Do not credit the GFW on someone else. April 22, 2008.
At some of the big portals, the story about AFP, Reuters and AP filtering Tibet separatist information figured prominently. This was probably a report designated to be highlighted, but it made for some truly extraordinary reading.
The author attempted to examine the search results at the various search engines of the major news agency websites in order to prove that the western media are seriously biased. Using "Dalai Lama" as the search term, the results from AFP did not have a single photo about "assault, vandalizing, looting and arson." This is significant because the Qianlong reporter subjectively believe that the "assault, vandalizing, looting and arson" were connected to the Dalai Lama clique because that was the charge made by the Chinese government. However, the western news agencies may not draw the same connection. Therefore, the outcome was not surprising. The Qianlong reporter made an assumption, and then put the onus on other people.
On April 19, the Qianlong reporter first went to the Chinese-language news agency websites and searched for "snatching the Olympic torch". The search result was that there was no relevant information and the user is advised to change the requirements and retry. Searching for "Tibet independence" ended with the message "this page cannot be displayed."
For the first part, this only showed the Qianlong reporter had lousy search engine skills. Why would one expect the Chinese-language website of a western news agency to have very good Chinese language functionality? It was not surprising that a long keyword such as "snatching the Olympic torch" will result in nothing. The western news agency website is neither Baidu nor Google.
More interesting is the second part when the Qianlong reporter said that "the page could not be displayed." Either this reporter is living in a true vacuum, or else he/she is being sarcastic by saying the exact opposite. Most people who use overseas search engines know that "the page could not be displayed" will pop up for sensitive terms. This is not about the Reuters Chinese-language website, because the credit should have been given to the Great Firewall of China.
Addendum based upon the work by a commentator:
At http://cn.reuters.com/,
1. Searching for "Tibet independence," the link was re-routed; if the Tor service is used, the results were normal.
2. Searching for "assault, vandalizing, looting and arson," the link was re-routed; if the Tor service is used, the results were normal.
法新路透美联搜索引擎屏蔽反藏独信息
http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年04月22日10:00 千龍網
千龍網4月22日訊 (記者 于振華) 4月14日至4月16日，千龍網記者連續三天兩訪法新社駐北京記者站、三訪路透社駐北京記者站、兩訪美聯社駐北京記者站，為了搞清楚這三大通訊社是否客觀公正地報導發生在西藏的打砸搶燒事件，奧運火炬傳遞、尤其是藏獨分子如何破壞火炬傳遞的，但均遭拒絕，“你可以自己上網去查看”也成了這世界三大通訊社留給千龍網記者共同的答覆。
為此，千龍網記者通過路透社、法新社、美聯社的搜尋引擎，發現這三大西方媒體宏觀發稿數量的對比結果非常懸殊，西方媒體刻意放大了“藏獨”的聲音，弱化、甚至遮罩中國民眾和海外華人支持北京奧運會、抗議達賴喇嘛搞分裂、搞破壞的聲音，形成輿論朝著“藏獨”一邊倒的狀態，這種“有選擇性”的報導方式，既是為了美化達賴喇嘛“非暴力”的“精神領袖”形象，以達到不可告人的目的，又是為了防止媒體自打嘴巴。
“黑色4月7日”法國巴黎徹底“淪陷”
4月19日，千龍網記者先上路透社中文網，用該網的新聞搜尋引擎，以“搶奪奧運火炬”為關鍵字進行搜索，頁面上出現的“查詢結果”顯示“沒有找到符合‘搶奪奧運火炬’的資訊，請修改查詢準則後重試”；而以“藏獨”、“打砸搶燒”等熱門關鍵字進行搜索，居然出現“該頁面無法顯示”。
為了擴大調查範圍，4月19日、20日、21日，千龍網記者分別多次在法新社、美聯社以及路透社英文網站上借助其網站的搜尋引擎，先後以“Olympic torch”(奧運火炬)、“Tibet”(西藏)、“dalai lama”(達賴喇嘛)等為關鍵字，搜索並流覽其一個多月以來刊發的大約3100幅新聞圖片後，驚奇地發現，在奧運火炬傳遞現場，幾乎看不到支持北京奧運的當地華人、華僑熱情洋溢的表情和他們手中揮舞的五星紅旗，更難尋那些熱愛奧運的外國朋友的身影。
在這3100幅圖片中，法新社、美聯社和路透社的記者們將鏡頭大多都對準了支持達賴喇嘛的“藏獨”分子抗議中國、詆毀北京奧運會的陣容，而“藏獨”分子也非常配合西方媒體記者們表演“雙簧”，他們利用聲勢浩大的北京奧運火炬傳遞活動以各種怪異行為“露臉”爭奪世界公眾的眼球。
以法新社、美聯社和路透社對巴黎的北京奧運火炬傳遞的新聞圖片報導為例，4月21日，千龍網記者登陸路透社英文網站，用“Olympic torch”(奧運火炬)為關鍵字搜索發現，4月7日當天，路透社大約發表50幅新聞圖片，其中，表現“藏獨”分子各種反對中國、詆毀北京奧運的圖片就占37幅，而對支持中國、支持北京奧運的熱情觀眾的新聞圖片卻沒有一張。
在法新社的網站上，千龍網記者以“Olympic torch”(奧運火炬)為關鍵字，並將時間限定在4月7日，地點範圍設為法國，點擊搜索鍵一共搜索到143張新聞圖片，分12頁顯示。其中，有關“藏獨”分子遊行、抗議以及衝擊奧運火炬傳遞隊伍與員警發生衝突的新聞圖片共有95張，另有4張新聞圖片是表現支援北京奧運、支持中國的人對“藏獨”分子的抗議，而為北京奧運火炬歡呼、為中國加油的新聞圖片，仍然沒有一張。
而在美聯社的網站上，為北京奧運火炬歡呼、為中國加油的新聞圖片能否實現“零突破”呢？當千龍網記者輸入關鍵字“Olympic torch”(奧運火炬)，設定2008年4月7日為搜索範圍，結果，在搜索出的186張新聞圖片中，有96張仍然是“藏獨”分子各種詆毀奧運、反對中國的怪異面孔與行為，而支持中國、支持奧運的聲音再次為零——巴黎徹底“淪陷”。
寧可失去媒體操守不可醜化達賴
眾所周知，奧林匹克聖火是奧林匹克精神的最高象徵，它傳播著“和平、友誼、進步”的理念，而面對“藏獨”分子破壞奧運火炬傳遞、褻瀆奧運精神的大是大非，法新社、美聯社和路透社這世界三大通訊社為何寧可拋棄自己一直鼓吹與宣導的新聞“公正客觀”於不顧、而如此“大肚能容”呢？日前，千龍網記者多次在這世界三大通訊社的英文網站上試圖尋找他們的“難言之隱”。
4月19日，千龍網記者進入路透社英文網站時，在該網站的搜尋引擎上輸入“dalai lama”(達賴喇嘛)，即能搜索出744條有關達賴喇嘛在世界各種場合發表的“藏獨”言行的文字報導，而再用圖片搜尋引擎搜索一下，能搜出21張達賴喇嘛相關的新聞圖片。但是，令人意外的是，4月21日，千龍網記者再度進入路透社英文網站，再用圖片搜尋引擎搜索一下，卻一下子能搜出556幅與達賴喇嘛相關圖片新聞，其中還有署名為“REUTERS/Jim Young”采寫拍攝的美國總統布希接見達賴喇嘛的圖片新聞。
A Most Remarkable Project
(04/23/2008) (Qianlong via Sina.com)
Between April 14 to 16, the Qianlong reporter went to visit the Agence France Presse Beijing office twice, the Reuters Beijing office thrice and the Associated Press Beijing office twice in order to determine if the big three news agencies were objectively and fairly reporting the assault, vandalizing, looting and arson in Tibet, the Olympic torch relay and especially about how the Tibet splittists are sabotaging the latter. But the Qianlong reporter was turned away with the comment "You can look it up yourself on the Internet" being the common answer provided by these three biggest news agencies in the world.
Accordingly, the Qianlong reporter used the Reuters, AFP and AP search engines and found that these western media were disproportionate in terms of their reports wherein they deliberately over-amplified the voices of the Tibet splittists versus the protesting against the separatism and sabotage by the Dalai Lama. The western news agencies provided a one-sided tilt towards Tibet independence. This "selective reporting" prettified the "non-violent" "spiritual leader" image of the Dalai Lama in order to realize their ulterior goal.
On April 19, the Qianlong reporter went to the Reuters Chinese-language website and searched for the keyword "snatching the Olympic torch." The search result was that "there was nothing that matched 'snatching the Olympic torch; please revise your search requirements and try again." When "Tibet independence" and "assault, vandalizing, looting and arson" were searched, the result was that "the page could not be displayed."
On April 19, 20 and 21, the Qianlong reporter went to the English-language websites of AFP, AP and Reuters and used the search engine to look for keywords such as "Olympic torch," "Tibet" and "Dalai Lama". There were about 3,100 news photo over the past 30 days. Astonishingly, "Olympic torch" showed virtually no photos of overseas Chinese supporting the Beijing Olympics and waving the five-star national flags.
At the AFP website, the Qianlong reporter used "Olympic torch" as the keyword and restricted the search to April 7 in France. This resulted in 143 news photos. Among these, 95 were about the Tibet independence marchers and protestors or the attack on the Olympic torch relay runners and the local police. There were 4 photos that showed the Chinese protesting against the Tibet independence demonstration. There was not a single photo of any cheering for the Olympic torch or China.
At the Associated Press website, the Qianlong reporter found 186 news photos for the keyword "Olympic torch" for April 7. 96 of these are about the Tibet splittists smearing the Olympics and opposing China. There was no photo in support of China and the Olympics.
At the Reuters website, the reporter entered "Dalai Lama" on April 19 and found 744 reports about the Dalai Lama expressing views about Tibetan independence. As for news photos, there were 21 of them. When the Qianlong reporter repeated the exercise on April 21, there were 556 photos related to the Dalai Lama, including one photo of American president George W. Bush meeting with the Dalai Lama credited to "Reuters/Jim Young."
... There were 409 unique photos among the 556 news photos. Of these, 354 were about the travels, meetings, religious activities and peaceful petitions in support of Tibet independence as well as glorifying "Tibet's exiled spiritual leader." By contrast, there were only 13 photos about the assault, vandalizing, lotting and arson committed by the Dalai Lama clique. With this huge discrepancy, how must credibility is there about "objectivity and fairness"?
On April 19, the "Dalai Lama" keyword at Associated Press resulted in 476 news photos, most of which are about the Dalai Lama visiting the United States and meeting with important politicians. There were also photos of Tibet splittists protesting in the form of "peaceful" petitions as well as making a show at the Olympic torch relay. But there was nothing about the Chinese people protesting against the evil deeds of the Dalai Lama and the Tibet splittists.
On April 19, the Qianlong reporter visited the AFP website and used the keyword "Dalai Lama" to find 483 news photos, with the contents being comparable to those at Reuters and Associated Press ...
