India Blocks Almost All Yahoo! Forums
AP reports, "A government ban on an Internet discussion group run by an obscure separatist movement has ended up blocking access to popular, unrelated Yahoo forums in nearly all of India...But for technical reasons, Indian Internet service providers were unable to block just the Kynhun site - and had to shut down every Yahoo discussion group...The Indian government occasionally blocks Web sites it finds objectionable, including one for a Pakistani newspaper during India-Pakistan fighting in 1999." :: It is worth noting how vulnerable to Internet is to national control. I wonder how realistic it was to imagine Buck's underground webzine or Zion's website would be immune to GC censorship when the web of today is so easily controlled by governmental authorities?
