INDIA BLOCKS ACCESS TO ALL BLOGGER, TYPEPAD AND GEOCITIES USERS
What did one expect from a runaway concept that Bush would call "the war on terra"? Governments can't defeat a human ideology, or can they? Welcome to the "new world order". India's actions are just one in many unlimited assualts to come on regular people by their governments in the name of protecting those same people.
I seriously doubt this move by India is really a move to fight terrorists. It's more likely a type of blackmail or 'message' to Google and other influential internet information providers. Very possibly even a 'test' put to the people of India.
India's actions remind me of AOL's new actions. AOL is becoming so aggressive in their efforts to "protect" their customers against bad emails that AOL is now blocking every customer--possibly even tens of thousands of customers--from any offending web service provider. That's not protection when combined with AOL's new "pay to play" policy. It's actually more akin to a blackmail business model-- Want to be in business? You gotta pay AOL.
And so to is India's action of blocking millions of websites by regular people in order to "protect" those same people. I wonder how much India will demand from Google in order to have the blocks lifted?
Welcome to the new world order. We are all suspects and pawns now. Why do our governments hate us so much?
