It seems that things may be back to normal in India, but the blog blackout by the Electronic Media Monitoring Committee could be a model used in the US or other countries in the future.The clamp down on blogging following 7/11 blasts has now been revoked, not because the blogging community had expressed unhappiness, but intelligence agencies pointed out that the ban is limiting their scope of investigations into the serial blasts.

The restrictions on blogging were imposed immediately after the blasts and lifted about 10 days back. With the ban revoked, investigating agencies have started keeping a tab on online chat rooms and blogs for any "circumstantial evidence" linked to the serial blasts.
In the meantime, I guess they will just keep mining the data.
