Censorship

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"? The Register's story latest story on this is here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/09/25/murray_usmanov_defiant/"
