Blog #8

This article caught my attention because it is about how the government is removing many websites according/ that has to do with the 1st amendment.


The article I just read was about how the government had a bunch of websites removed by the FBI that had to do with the 1st amendment. "The FBI's role in this was apparently only to request user information about several sites from the ISP under a provision of the criminal code which does not require a warrant. Burst.net then overreacted and assumed that the FBI would want to seize the entire server and shut down all of the Blogetery.com sites in response.
However, based on statements from the operator of Blogetery.com he has still not been informed of what type of material was on the target sites or been contacted by the FBI or any other law enforcement group and Burst.net will not divulge the reasons why his service was shut down."
This article caught my attention because it was unreasonable for the government have the FBI take down blog that was based on the 1st amendment when they didn't take the time to read the blogs. If they had an opinion about the government or about politics they'd remove it. They were basically removing websites just because of the people's opinions and thoughts.
