Anyone have insight as to why Snapchat is blocked in China but Snow isn't? Is Snow just currently under the radar and will likely suffer the same fate?

My random guess is that the last I heard - Snapchat was still on AppEngine. The first results on a Google search (so I don't know with any confidence if it's true) say that the appspot domain is blocked in China.
That would be one of the worst reasons to get locked out of the world's most populous market...
Perhaps Snow is more happy to give the Chinese government copies of your snaps?
and snapchat is not? please...
