RE: The Blogging Revolution: A Look at the Repression of Online Journalism Around the World




After reading about the freedom and privacy that bloggers around the world have, it really got me to question my right as a human being. Everywhere in the world has their rules and regulations but there are some rules that should definitely be regulated in all countries the world.

People should definitely have freedom when it comes to blogging but should come to an extent. Blogging is about having the freedom to write about anything but writing but showing negative acts and violating human rights should not be blogged about. Opinions are just opinions and the government should know what is a threat and what is not a threat.

There are other options besides being thrown in jail for having an offensive blog. Almost anyone can write about anything on the internet and the government should take that into consideration. As the government i would decide to give these offensive bloggers warnings about their content in their blogs, maybe even ban or lock their blog. Jail should not be the immediate option because we are selves have freedom of speech.

Its awful to see that this sort of issues is continuing and worst yet its increasing in some countries. Rules and regulations should definitely be made and brought out to the public and jail should not be the immediate option for these issues. As a blogger it really gives me a new point of view and it gives me caution on what i should be posting online.
