    there must be a good reason for this and to be fair shutting down 7 blogs is hardly representative of the thousands of such blogs out there. I doubt google would stifle political debate, perhas the sites were carrying racist content

    comealongway.blogspot.com hasn't been frozen by google, the permission settings has been changed by the owner to read by invite.

    On top of this, my site is hosted on blogspot, yet it is about making money online, and I try to maintain a neutral point of view. Blogspot is great, so I am not worried about them, I talk with them regularly to see if theirs anything wrong with my website normally on a regular bases.

    Also, out of the millions of blogspot sites, if only 7 anti-obama sites are shut down, I doubt this is really a movement. You also have to realize that the workers may support Obama, even if the managers don't because workers have the right to shut down sites complying with TOS.

    Wow, first post in almost 2 years, really brought this thread back alive:).

    It's a shame seeing Google give in - they have tried to do this before.
