I don't understand why they would take this down. There are tons of sites that are critical or even insulting of the Mexican government, even main stream newspapers, and radio stations.


Probably because this site wasn't just besmirching them, it was helping organize protests.


Yes. Pretty much this.

The Mexican government is fine with everyone hating them, as long as people limit themselves to clicking the "like" button on facebook, or ranting about something, but as soon as there's the risk of people actually doing something, they start moving.
