little t said:What happened to these Blog spots and why do they keep getting shut down? Is there any to replace them?
Blogspot is owned by Google. In fact you give Google rights to everything posted on "your" blogspot blog. And they can pull the plug on you at anytime.You need to get your own domain name and a hosting company (preferably offshore from the USA) to protect your content. Everything is really cheap now (although not free, like blogspot).
As an afterthought, Google's pushbutton access to delete your account is exactly like the Obamacare requirement that the IRS will have access to your bank account (for what I still can't figure out). When you go to the ATM and it says your account is ZERO, all the bank will do is refer you to the IRS. Then to whom are you going to complain? Just like Google...good luck with that.
