Bloggers in India can rest easy now.
According to the Department of Telecommunications, blogs which were blacked out three days after the Mumbai blasts will soon be restored.
Post 7/11, the Government decided to block sites without saying why and the ISPs decided to go ahead, do one better and block all blogs.
The Centre issued an order to block 22 websites after a two-page write up containing derogatory references to Islam appeared in a blog.
