Blog Censorship: China, India, and Closer to Home
Un des specials chauds du jour (?Franglais?) is Blog censorship. Here, here, here, here and here for example.
Not really a new phenomenon however. Blogger was accused of being heavy handed almost two years ago and have now gone to a very light touch indeed. Much to the Hitch's delight and their victims' horror.
So this is not always confined to Asia and her developing markets. LOL will be back to this. Meanwhile if any blogger wishes to point LOL at instances of censorship, legal threat, bribe or persuasion please do take a moment to drop me an email or a comment.
Requests for anonymity or sleight of blog will of course be respected.

its sad really...
conservative governments are forced to censor entire social networks and blogging sites just because of a few blogs with hate content.
what we need is better moderation to filter out bad blogs.. too bad this process can't be completely automated as of now.
