Does anyone knows the reason why they blocked blogger in the first place?


There was an account with blogger [0]. So they blocked the ip address of that domain which was shared with many others as you can see in this article.

There were 2 blogs they wanted to block specifically. They blocked those blogs IP addresses without understanding how the internet works.


What were the topics of those two blogs?



Leakymails.com posted e-mails from goverment officials (the idiots used services like hotmail for work-related communications).


Search for "cuidad.com.ar" + leakymails on google

Leakymails is just an operation to make it look like they have genuine e-mails, but they're fake.

The government jumped the gun when blocking those sites, but that's another issue..
