CNN removed controversial story on Iranian blogs

Believe it or not, CNN online has removed an entire story about Iranian blogs from it's website. (Even popdex has the list of websites that had linked to the piece) The story which originally was produced by Reuters made a lot of controversy in Iran among conservative officials and business owners. (Look at a this petition for example) Because it used to begin with a paragraph about a blog by an Irnian prostitue.

Although that particular blog tuned out to be fake, the story was quite good at displaying a general picture of why Iranian youth have turned to blogging.

There is a slight possibility that the page is re-located, but further search on CNN's website proves it wrong.

The original story on the Reuters is unavlable as well, which might be because they don't keep their whole archive online.

However, the story is still reachable through other websites.
