I'd like to know why, I expect that link explains, but it doesn't work Confused

They really are restricting their citizens now.

Same here in Thailand. They even block blogger.com !!! because they find someone using his blog to post pornography. The blog has same IP with the server so bye bye blogger.com. Anyway you can use some proxy software to blind your proxy accessing the blocked sites.

two weels back here in India all blogspot,typepad,geocities websites and blogs were banned by Government but then they removed the ban because usually this kind of news is not associated with India. Now all my blogs are back. only 17 blogs are banned now there is a political reason behing that.
