The one blog taken down the owner appeared to be a gamer. 70,000 blogs taken down due to bomb making information? Don’t you think that would warrant a big fed investigation?

My original point was takedown of the blogs without cease and desist orders and I feel it is where we are headed under obama. With these new Fair Use lawsuits, it appears to be yet another way to take down opposing websites. Or scare the h*** out of posters/blog/website owners as to what they do online.

I don’t think we have the full story here.

Just like the attempted terrorist attacks that fail, they are but a warning to us. Or a attempt to see how far they (thugs in charge) can go. How many other sites will get the fed notice and get scared and shut the blogs down? Please keep me informed if you get any new info.

Is this a different incident, or this one?

Yes, I would. And that's exactly what precipitated it: an FBI investigation, which requested the identity of who posted the information.

The hosting company took down the entire site, because they didn't have the ability to take down individual blogs. The blog management was actually being done by their customer, who is the equivalent of you or me setting up a website and allowing people to create individual blogs.

My original point was takedown of the blogs without cease and desist orders and I feel it is where we are headed under obama.

Since this particular takedown was a voluntary action by the hosting company (and wasn't required by the FBI), I think you are jumping to conclusions.
