I found this article interesting in the sense that the government is taking down several thousands of blogs contrary to the first amendment.
Amendment 1:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The article basically is about how the government (they were not specified) had several thousand blogs taken down by the FBI but the Government never saw any of these blogs and so could not prove that these blogs went against the first amendment. It greatly interests me because for one I myself as I write this have a blog and two I begin to think will by blog may also be attacked for pointless reasons. It may be removed for the most pointless reasons such as expressing my opinion on some politics or even saying that the presidents nose looked funny. By removing ones blog for that reason makes it so we feel that we don't have the freedom of speech or the exercise of thereof. Still today the government baffles me in it's strict ways.
