This is the news that has hit the Indian Blog Community and is widely being talked about. I am one of those lucky bloggers who use BSNL broadband and BSNL has not yet banned the blog sites like Blogpot.
Many Major and small ISPs have blocked blog sites like blogspot,geocities and many more. I realized it when last night one of my friend who uses Airtel told me that my blog was not opening. I first ignored it suggesting him that may be it was problem with his server.But then News in blog community and news on Indian news channel like Ndtv told me the reality.
The news showed that Departmet of Communication has issued such orders, but the department nor the ISPs are giving any clarifications or comments on this issue.
They suggested that this step has been taken by the government as the blogs were being used to spread misinformation and was threat to national security,like some blogs gave infomrnation on the islamic terrorist groups.
But all this is really weird. Bloggers across the country and angry and confused. Blogs are like a vitrual world of thousands of bloggers,where they talk about all the things. They give their views,opinions or discuss somethings. Blog sites have become an inseparable part of their lives.
Not being able to access any blog is so annoying for blogger. When will this thing be sorted out. Bloggers wait confused and angry, while we all wait to hear a word from the government!
