Websites promoting anorexia shut down in Spain


Spain - Four websites accused of promoting anorexia and bulimia as acceptable weight-loss methods have been shut down in Spain, a spokesman for Microsoft's Spanish division said Tuesday.
The blogs, housed by the Microsoft division, were shut down at the request of Catalan Internet quality control agency Iqua, the spokesman added. He did not provide details on the content of the websites.
