Who wants to block Google's blogger service? China? Nope, not ALL
blogs are blocked in China. Only those the Chinese govt doesn't like.

But Pakistan has recently blocked ALL blogs on blogspot:

There's this Indian blogger who calls himself 'The All Seeing Spy'.
He's been writing a delicious blog called 'War For News' about the
emergence of competition in the English TV newsscape in India: NDTV
vs. CNN-IBN vs. Times Now. (Nobody considers Headlines Today a news
channel.)

He was firewalled in the Times NOW office yesterday:

And today, someone posted Rajdeep Sardesai's goodbye letter to NDTV,
causing CNN-IBN / CNBC TV 18's Noida office to block ALL blogspot
blogs!

Enjoy while it lasts. Hope the Spy doesn't get caught and lose his
job. There's no money in blogging.
