Government vs Google?

Is blocking of blogspot by the India government a response to the lack of response from Google to the innumerable requests from the President/Army chief/ISRO chief to block some sensitive defence establishments being shown through Google Earth? By blocking blogspot.com, the government has virtually forced exodus of bloggers to other blog hosting sites.

  2. I’m not sure da. I’m actually able to view even blogspot (My ISP has not heeded to the govt. request I guess). Some people tell me even the blog hosting has been blocked for some domains. Some people tell me only x.blogspot.com cannot be accessed.
