In a statement published on the website and distributed through Twitter, the anonymous blog founders said they were changing domain names due to “questions of security.” Much of the site’s archives appear to be lost or moved in part over to Blog del Capo. According to the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, since October 24 it became difficult to access the blog through several Internet browsers, including Google Chrome. The editors of Blog del Narco and Mundo Narco, best known for publishing uncensored, grisly images of Mexico’s drug conflict, say they had to move to a new website after the Mexican government complained to their former hosting platform, Blogger.
Blog del Narco, a site with explicit reporting on Mexico’s drug violence, has allegedly been forced to change domain names following intervention by the Mexican government.
