Did Feds Shut Down 73,000 Blogs, and Why?

Or maybe there really was no law enforcement agency, and Burst Net shut them down for some other as yet unknown reason and found it would be easier to blame an unnamed law enforcement agency.
Burst Net refused to identify the agency and ICE which has been involved in Internet piracy claims they are not involved.
Not saying there was definitely no government agency involved, just that we really don't know anything yet, so don't start jumping to conclusions.

I'm puzzled by some of these posts. Just how long do they think the government has been invading our privacy and committing other like acts? It didn't start last week. For the sake of argument let's say they are fed up with it. There is a remedy. Part of it will come in November of this year with the mid term elections. We elect the people who appoint the people who make and enforce these laws. that said, these same people can be voted out of office. The problem many times is that those complaining are doing so on a partisan basis either liberal, conservative,libertarian, green, etc. Accordingly if this is being done by their
party they will rationalize it and say "Oh well they are doing it for the good of
the country." Whereas if the other party is doing it they will say, "Out with the bums." The tragedy is the elected officials care very little about any of them and
probably laugh at their blind loyalty. Once the party in power is gone the same or
similar complaints will come from the other side. The American political scene has
no equal.

Have never heard of this blog site, but if they were doing something illegal then they need to be shut down, if not doing anything illegal it reeks of dictatorship.

How sad , I am 71 yrs old and this is not Constitutional or what the Vets sacrificed their lives and died for , our freedoms have been being eliminated one by one , people need to stand up before it is too late.

Now they'll take over communications and monitor our conversations looking for "subversives". Germany, 1938, all over again.

Uh oh, now starts the wild accusations of Federal censorship and outlandish conspiracy theories...

Wow, visions of "net neutrality" on it's way!

The Whitehouse's "Civilouge" policy?

the first amendment is on the attack everywhere. They can demand civility but when they don't reprint a comment that points out the obvious they are shut down. Control is what its all about.
