Well, actualy, I read one of the news paper articles and it clearly states the reason for trying to block the blogs. Blogs, unlike email conversations, cannot be traced to the original IP addresses. Hence this step. I am sure
*REALLY*? I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked! That all these blogging sites don't maintain webserver logs. And that such logs won't be made available on request (it does take effort to file for a subpoena for the information though).
the government has hi tech sleuths working on finding a way to track this before they open it up again.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Where was the joke warning before this?
I also saw the same reasoning being given in blocking voice chats and voip calling though non-licensed providers like yahoo, msn, google, skype, etc. The licensed providers have to clear some security requirements and hence are more traceable.
It doesn't matter. Nothing stops the criminals from setting up Asterisk (or a Cisco call manager) and routing their calls around.
Just stating what i read.
Learn the technology first. The government is *clueless*.
