Few things rankle my civil libertarian bojangles more than censorship of ANY kind. One could argue that this action is justified after the Mumbai train bombings that happened last week. However, does the Indian gov’t really know which IP # associated with which blog on blogspot belongs to some hyperbolic revolutionary future despot, and which one belongs to some little girl sharing text messages she got from her playmates last week.
These things are dynamic, no?
I thought the security increase at US airports after 9/11 was a stupid idea, as well. A knee jerk circle jerk of the worst order.
Then again, they’re all over, these days…
