However, as news is such a context-specific thing a temproary ban of sufficent length, as seems to be the case here, is effectively the same as a news blackout. >You don't know the facts and you've fallen into the American culture clap-trap >of judging other people, their laws and their culture based on your own. Its not citizens of Canada that we care about, its citizens of the net. It will be a terrible thing if national sovereignty is recognized as a legitimate force which can and should be allowed to censor information, particularly if it sets a precedent of USEnet being treated like a broadcast medium. -- Clay Shirky
