MSN Space Removed Anti's Blog

ESWN: "The Anti Blog Is Gone. Upon information and belief, the Anti blog has been removed by MSN Spaces. For much of today, the message is that: "Space not available. This space is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." I have tried other MSN Spaces, but this is the only one not available. Similarly, Anti's English blog is not available either."

ESWN speculated that the shutdown may be connected to Anti's comments on the latest mass protest by Chinese journalists, among a number of other factors.

Recent posts from Anti's blog can still be found in feedburner at http://feeds.feedburner.com/mrantimsn and here in bloglines (registration required).

Update: For those who can't read Chinese, CDT has a collection of Anti's words and thoughts in English.

Update II: So it's true that MSN Space removes blogs with "politically unacceptable" content. Rebecca Mackinnon has done a few tests that illustrate the case. Robert Scoble said he has raised the issue with a senior executive at MSN.
