The one blog taken down the owner appeared to be a gamer.

Is this a different incident, or this one?

70,000 blogs taken down due to bomb making information? Don’t you think that would warrant a big fed investigation?

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.
