There is no threat as yet in Sri Lanka( besides there are many rumors on that),But it might happen soon in SL as well., lately they have thought of restricting all most all the media activities such as Hollywood movies, Foreign programs, Advertising Imported Milk powder, watching TV after 10PM .. List goes on…..
So I wish that will not happen in SL .

It's hard to understand how the current Indian government ban on Blogspot, Typepad, Geocities, and other major web domains can possibly be justified as an anti-terrorism strategy. Apparently some people involved with banned groups like SIMI have been using blogs to communicate, and the government has instructed the nation's ISPs to ban those sites, which host thousands of Indian blogs"

No I don’t think you have said too much.. There is always possibility that government to restrict some internet sites in Sri Lanka. Because now they have stated to restrict Indian and international movies by imposing a very big tax on them and one Satellite TV operator is on trial. But it’s very unlikely, since there is no central internet gateway and very limited inter-connectivity between operators. Operators use Underground Sea Cables or own satellite base stations to connect to multiple international gateways for connectivity. So even there is restriction implementation would be very difficult task.
In India, the Govt instructed the ISP to block the Blogging site because this was the medium has been effectively used by the terrorists. But, there had been a good amount democratic protests in the media to ban the blogs for the misuse of some. Finally, Govt released and there is no ban right now. Happy Blogging :)
