Has Obama found a new way to silence his opponents.. It seems that Google has shown doors to those who, make Anti-Obama campaigns in their blogger platform by officially closing their sites..

I think it freedom of expression is curtailed here.. and there is no need for actions like this.. a Media bias!!..

Do you think this will disdain the image of Google..or not?

it is just like giving some edge. nothing more than that. if they are to ban, they should ban all similar sites like this. its media bias in real sense. may be they are also supporting him.

May be Google wants Obama..and Obama only... For me it just looks like a sort of Intimidation to the opponents.

If you read the article, you'll see that it's not Google shutting down the blogs. People are going and marking blogs spam over and over and over again until the spam switch gets flipped and the blogs are frozen.

From the article:

Apparently, this campaign merely took advantage of Google/Blogger's flawed system of finding spam blogs.

There are always zealots who are willing to fight dirty for their 'cause', so I really don't see this as a Google-against-everyone-but-Obama thing. As someone who's had her blogged marked as a spam blog (when it's clearly anything BUT), all those people would have to do is email and get their blog reinstated. It might take a couple days, but I don't see any mention of that.

Hi saivenkaat802003! Well, I do believe in Freedom of expression but there is a responsibility that goes with that. We shouldn't be just hurling criticism without any solid basis for such criticisms. I sure hope Google didn't close the site but instead have it's bloggers take some responsibility in deleting erroneous comments that are not based on facts or solid evidences. However, I am no expert nor will I criticize Google for doing such action. I guess, they have their own reasons for doing so. Anyway, I just want to say Hi to you my friend! haha..
Take care and God Bless you always!

This is crazy. What about freedom of speech. And who cares. People blog about everything what makes him so special.
