one of the most common ways for a person to express his or herself on the internet is to go to blogspot<\/a>, sign up, and thanks to the people over at blogger<\/a>, instantly start blogging<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

what might have blacklisted all of blogspot is the site of “the religious policeman<\/a>”<\/p>\n

this is a western-educated saudi fellow who, via satellite internet (which cannot be censored), has taken the courageous step of posting his experiences, thoughts, observations, and outright criticisms of the way saudi arabia works<\/p>\n

of course, the thought of any mode of expression which cannot be regulated is a severely distressing thought for those in power anywhere<\/p>\n

at york university<\/a>, it’s megaphones<\/a><\/p>\n

there are ways to by-pass the censorship, however<\/p>\n

go on google<\/a>, type up “muttawa,” the first page that appears is the one in question

as for the blocking of blogspot itself, other services such as livejournal<\/a>, though it sucks, are still available
\nagain, a simple google search will bring out a great list of blogging and journal-keeping sites<\/p>\n
