Today, many Indian ISPs went on to block websites
and Blogs based upon the information received by them from Department
of Communication. Though initial reports suggested, these steps were
taken in the wake of Mumbai Bomb Blasts, as Terrorists have now started
the use of Cyber Space for their communication. The major websites
blocked included Blogspot.com, geocities.com typepad.com, etc.
The websites blocked were:
hinduunity.org
hinduhumanrights.org
princesskimberley.com
bloodspot.com
dalitstan.org
clickatell.com
blogspot.com
geocities.com
typepad.com
and more...
The
period for which they will remain blocked has not been specified. And
though specific URLs, 18 to be precise were received by the ISPs, but
due to lack of proper infrastructure they went on to block complete
websites like Blogspot.com... which has received wide-spread protests
also from innocent Bloggers.
