Baywords: Uncensored blogging service

Excerpts from Baywords.com:

Many blogs are being shut down for uncomfortable thoughts and ideas. We will not do that. Our goal is to protect freedom of speech and your thoughts. As long as you don’t break any Swedish laws in your blog, we will defend it.

I wonder where the service will bring us. Luckily the service does not allow contents that break Swedish laws, so there probably won't be any drug-use, or any illegal activity blogs. But I wonder how people will use this kind of service, so I checked through the list of BayWords blogs, many of blogs are in foreign languages which I don't understand, otherwise, I haven't see anything too weird so far.

The service is powered by WordPress. Since it is just launched last week, it does not have the bells-and-whistles of other blogging platform yet. Nevertheless, Baywords have 10,000 blogs registered within 3 days, eliminating those blogs with only single testing post, I guess number of active blogs are around 5,000.
