Mizzima reports that the tinhorns in Burma have, through the country’s two ISPs, blocked access to the Blogger.com blogging platform (also known as Blogspot).
In a bid to stop the flow of information outside Burma one of the most popular blog sites www.blogger.com has been banned by the Myanmar Post and Telecomm Ministry as of Thursday morning, according to bloggers in the former capital.
In the wake of ‘Saffron Revolution’, another Internet Service Provider ‘Bagan Teleport’ has blocked this blog website. And now the remaining ISP under the MPT has blocked this website which bars computers in Burma from accessing the blogs.
Both the ISPs are under the control of the military regime but under two different administrations.
Can anyone confirm?
