The website of Notepad++ is banned in China as of Monday, “obviously due to” its release of editions named ‘Free Uyghur’ and ‘Stand With Hong Kong’, the source code and text editor announced on Twitter.

First released in 2003 by France-based developer Don Ho, free-to-use Notepad++ operates on Windows and supports some 90 languages. In his release notices for the two editions, Ho openly voiced his concerns over ‘human rights’ conditions, respectively in the Xinjiang autonomous region and Hong Kong.
