Did India Block Blogger?
Darnell Clayton wrote this post on February 11th, 2011 in Blogging News Did India Block Blogger? There are reports coming in that Blogger (aka BlogSpot) is unavailable for numerous India users without the assistance of a proxy. Users are already sounding off upon the official Blogger forums, although one user is suspecting that the block is not due to technical difficulties (which is my first assumption) but rather due to “big brother.” Blogspot Blogs are increasingly becoming non-accessible in India. Surprisingly, if a person uses a proxy, she can have access to her blog. This logically means that Indian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are blocking access to Blogspot Blogs in India. Why this step has been taken is still not known. Even at Google’s Help Forum this question has been put for further discussion and diagnosis of the problem. But even at the Forum the possibility of Blogspot being Blocked/Censored has not been ruled out. ( CJNEWS In
