World Narrow Web

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/world-narrow-web/907579/

In a move a few weeks ago, Blogger, Google's blogging service, in effect announced something similar, by saying that default they would redirect Blogger users trying to get to Blogspot.com addresses (like http://example.blogspot.com) to their respective country sites (like http://example.blogspot.in).

Twitter's announcement was greeted with much disapproval by many Twitter users, as a move towards censorship, with some talking (on Twitter) about a boycott. Blogger's move was hidden away, deep within a help page, and is being noticed now, and is causing quite a stir as caving in to censorship.

This is the next wave of INTERNET CENSORSHIP BY THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT. WAKE UP NOW OR THE INTERNET FREEDOM YOU TOOK FOR GRANTED WOULD BE LOST FOREVER.
