Google to Censor Blogger Blogs on a ‘Per Country Basis’ wired.com
Google has quietly announced changes to its Blogger free-blogging platform that will enable the blocking of content only in countries where censorship is required...Twitter announced technology last week addressing the same topic. It said it had acquired the ability to censor tweets in the countries only where it was ordered removed, instead of on an internet-wide basis.
Yet Google’s announcement three weeks ago — buried in a Blogger help page — went unnoticed until it was highlighted by TechDows on Tuesday...Google wrote Jan. 9 it would begin redirecting Blogger traffic to country-specific URLs, meaning whatever country you’re in, you’ll get that country’s domain for Blogger-hosted blogs.
TechDows reports that this is now happening in India, for example. So when you’re there and click on a Blogger blog, the URL will end .in. [instead of .com] Doing that, Google wrote, means content can be removed “on a per country basis.”

Information control is crucial to global population control and the internet is the only uncontrolled source left - Twitter and Google now leading the way in changing that. Censorship has arrived... fyi
