Blog censorship

As a former journalist, I'm really upset about what Google did recently to violate free-speech rights of bloggers. They suspended the accounts of 7 anti-Obama bloggers and claimed it was an accident when the facts reveal that it was intentional. There's a campaign on www.ThePoint.com
to hold Google accountable and demand that they never do this again, which I've joined (see https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/stop-google-censorship ). When 300 Blogger.com users join, they'll migrate to a different blogging platform until Google apologizes. This sends Google a clear message that CENSORSHIP is wrong.
