Submission + - Bloggers versus billionaire
Roger Whittaker writes: "An interesting case in England is pitting the combined power of multiple
bloggers in support of a dissident ex-diplomat against an Uzbek billionaire.
Alisher Usmanov has engaged the law firm Schillings (which seems to specialise
in getting unfavourable web content removed for rich clients) and their
threats led to the removal of Craig Murray's blog site by his hosting company
Fasthosts. But a large number of bloggers have taken up Murray's cause and
the content which caused the original complaint (and links to it) has now
sprung up in a very large number of places. Is it still true that "the
Internet regards censorship as damage and routes round it"?
