Was the removal of Activist Post (AP), a week ago, only an attempt at clumsy internet censorship? The website released a statement regarding its takedown. The following response from Blogger, who hosts Activist Post, was provided: "I'm an engineer on blogger. I'd like to apologise on behalf of the team for the removal of activistpost.com. The removal was caused by an automated process, and we restored the blog as soon as the issue was brought to our attention." New World Next Week (NWNW) provides a great take on AP's takedown, beginning at 10:50 mark of broadcast - a must see! NWNW suggests a relationship with growth of internet as a news source and apparent censorship of AP, a popular alternative news site! Could it also be a cybermetrics psyop to measure support of alternative media?
