In this particular case, censorship literally does equal death.

From HelpPakistan.com. The Pakistani bloggers are requesting that other bloggers download and display one of their images (such as at right) to display solidarity with their cause and outrage that all Blogspot blogs have apparently been banned in Pakistan:

Over the past few days, The Freedom of Expression of Pakistani Bloggers has been under attack by some, if not all, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who has chosen to block all blogs hosted on the blogspot.com domain. Political pressure groups have protested to the government to block those web sites displaying the controversial cartoon images of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) that were hosted on the net. But instead of blocking specific sites, ISPs have simply blacklisted the entire domain, causing thousands of blogs to be inaccessible for viewing or authoring in Pakistan.

I will also take this opportunity to remind my readers that Pakistan’s earthquake-recovery efforts currently still require aid: in fact, they require more winter-grade tents than exist in the world. You can donate here or to the charity of your choice.
