Post 7/11, the Government decided to block sites without saying why and the ISPs decided to go ahead, do one better and block all blogs.
The Centre issued an order to block 22 websites after a two-page write up containing derogatory references to Islam appeared in a blog.
The Department of Telecommunciations had issued notices to all Internet service providers (ISPs) to block the two pages, but due to a technical error, ISPs blocked all blogs.
Various ISPs say they were asked to block access to a list of 20 odd websites, which these include sites like Dalitstan.org, Clickatell.com, Hinduunity.com, Princesskimberly.blogspot.com and Hinduhumanrights.org - all sites that supposedly spread extreme views.
The Department of Telecommunciations has now clarified that the error is being rectified.
