Earlier this week, Google's U.S. corporate site suddenly displayed in Chinese. (A "bug," Google called it. Yeah, right.) On Wednesday, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook traffic was suddenly redirected to Chinese servers, allowing international Netizens a rare glimpse of how the Great Firewall operates. Some unknown parties apparently hacked one of the DNS Root Servers in Sweden, causing traffic to flow in the wrong direction. YouTube also went completely offline for about an hour on Wednesday morning (that one was due to "a technical issue," per Google).
