Banned blogspot in our country?
Apparently it was carried out in China and Iraq.Then Pakistan.And now India?
I had to access my blog through http://pkblogs.com.
Thank god for that!
http://www.desipundit.com/2006/07/15/blogspotcom-blocked-in-india-by-some-isps/ is a very interesting article I read.
From the Hindustan Times,
The government has instructed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block 12 websites. The order has come in the wake of the Mumbai bomb blasts, and these websites are perceived to be anti-India. Unfortunately, one of these is blogger or blogspot.com, a Google affiliated site which hosts millions of blogs worldwide.
Sources in the government said that a circular was issued by the Home Affairs Ministry three days back asking the Ministry of Information and Technology to block the 12 websites which posted content maligning India. Hundreds of netizens tried unsuccessfully to log on to blogger.com on Monday. These bloggers exchanged flash messages to discover that none of them were being able to log on to the website.
Officials defended the decision saying, "We would like those people to come forward who access these (the 12) radical websites and please explain to us what are they missing from their lives in the absence of these sites."

Ufff..
this is the stupidest thing that the government came up with.. "OH!! the terrorists are using the telephone network., lets shut it down.." bah!! morons.
i guess the isps mis-implemented government's order to block a few anto-national blogs. i hope this is corrected soon.. :)
@ velu-who me? or the government?
@ da rodent-yeah i'm sure terrorists are blogging about how many people they blew up
@ inder-a lot of hope.but isn't it frustrating till then.
yeah. it is indeed frustrating. i heard that some isps like sify still provide access to blogspot...
lol... the govt ofcourse!!:)
with the way they hv been blocking everything around, its great fun indeed. grrr...ever heard of the house being burned down while hunting for the mouse??
ufff!
Yay! blogspot is back :)
Hello...
Blogspot is back?!??
NOPE! Not for me..
Maybe they just hold a personal grdge! :(
If u can hear me, I'M NOT A TERRORIST!! I SWEAR!!!
I'm definitely screwed now.. Lol..
@arvind: Hey., each ISP takes it own sweet time in removing the bloody ban. BSNL removed it early in the morn. Airtel., sometime in the afternoon.
So if you are still not getting yours., scream at your ISP customer support. Its good fun BTW :P
it seems to work fine now, though..
@ inder-well its still blocked from my service provider
@ velu-its still uff for me.never heard of that but wasn't there a movie probably based on that phrase!
@ da rodent-its not for me!!!!!!
@ arvind-hey are u hathway as well?
@ fatty-you should have come home with me..ha!!!!!!!
Yes!!
I'm on Hathway!!
& I have called customer service 6 times today!!!
& everytime, they are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS!!
& They call me back too (very prompt) & are STILL clueless..
A useless bunch of dumbfucks!
I'm tired of explaining to each on e the story of the ban & how it isn't there anymore..
Useless people... They aren't even competent to put me on to someone higher up either..
@arvind, parvathi: have you guys got the ban removed yet? Bloody they are prompt in banning things., when comming to unbanning it., they take their own sweet time..
its back.
guess now its not anti national
what influences the decisions of our establishment is beyond me
@ raghav-its beyond everyone
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you! » »
