Can anyone give some insight into why HN would be blocked in the Marshall Islands?

  Probably because someone has the power to block any website they feel like, same as every other country. There is very little reason needed and there may not even be one - I spent an hour the other week in Turkey trying to fix my ssl certificates on heroku before realizing their api had been blocked.

    But why would the person in charge of blocking websites even bother to block HN?

      Why does it matter what the reason is? There may not even be a reason and there definitely won't be one acceptable to anyone who uses the less-censored internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_by_country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_by_country
