Is your ISP Blocking Blogspot?

Can you access this and other Blogspot blogs from your home computer? I cannot. That is because the idiots in the Govt have asked the ISPs to block some blogs that spread hate about India in an attempt to fight terrorism. My ISP has gone ahead and blocked all blogs on Blogspot. I haven't checked other blog hosts yet. I have this Photo blog on Blogger that hosts photos of my family etc and I can no longer access it from home!

You can read this from work because our office connection goes through a gateway that is routed through Japan (I think).

If your ISP is blocking web sites, do lodge a protest with the leading newspapers, the central Govt and other web sites. Don't let the idiots in Govt and at the ISPs win by default because we didn't raise our voice against their foolishness.

I doubt if the Govt meant to block ALL blogs, 'coz BSNL doesnt block any (that's something, since BSNL is state-owned) - seems more like a case of not-knowing-what-to-block-so-block-all for some of the ISPs! ;-)

DesiPundit has regular updates on this blocking thing.
