Bloggers, Law, Civil Rights and Privacy
From Slashdot:
Lawrence Person writes "The attempt to require political bloggers to register as lobbyists previously reported by Slashdot has been stripped out of the lobbying reform bill."


I'm glad. I don't want anything in the Internet to be controlled by any government; except, of course, for child pornographylinks and illegal stuff. I want my freedom and my privacy, and I'm willing to fight for my rights. I don't want to live in China, if you know what I mean.

A while ago a similar project was proposed in Brazil, by senator Eduardo Azeredo. The ridiculous project would "require identification of Internet users, prior to engaging in any operation involving interactivity, such as sending email, chatting, blogging, downloading files, etc." So, in order to do anything on line, I would have to identify myself, first name, last name and my document numbers included. C'mon!

The Brazilian blogosphere was (obviously) opposed, and the voice against it spread quickly. The project was finally canceled. Because it was too stupid and against civil rights, I believe.
