If a lion is to beat a crocodile, it must stay out of the water.

In this case they did the right thing. You comply with the governments legal request, then dig through their trash and find ugly stuff you can throw at them.

Then with that info, you go to a friendly journalist and cry censorship and talk about how evil the politicians are. Then you put the content back up again and wait for the next sucker - they will stop trying pretty quickly.

It continues to annoy me how many people who try to play it clean with the politicians. The reason you have to shower is that the real world is dirty; pretending otherwise will mean you end up being the one who stinks.
