Blogger Honeymoon Ends

CNET has an important piece warning of the The coming crackdown on blogging. It describes how the Federal Election Commission is beginning the perilous process of extending a controversial 2002 campaign finance law to the Internet.

Meanwhile, here is a post on blogger crackdown in other countries:

"This is the down side of the recent media focus on blogging; the repressive theocrats and dictators of the world also read our media. They perceive a threat to their control of information, and they’re reacting the way these atavistic monsters always do—by attempting to crush the threat at its source.

But this time, they’re going to fail."
