Access to more online services including the Korean messaging apps Line and KakaoTalk, the photo-sharing website Flickr and Microsoft’s (MSFT.NASDAQ) OneDrive cloud storage service have been blocked by the Chinese government in what activists believe is a move to block information about pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, Reuters reported. Some users of Chinese microblog Weibo Corp. (WB.NASDAQ) who commented on the protests also said that their accounts had been blocked or removed. On Tuesday, thousands of pro-democracy protesters marched in Hong Kong in one of the biggest challenges to Communist Party rule in more than a decade.
