Cracking down bloggers, now?
Two different views on censorship of the net, today. read here and here. But, our Premiere is more concerned with us, bloggers for spreading slanders and untruthful facts on the net. Keyword: National security. My instinct: Fear with capital F.
Case study: hmm...what about Iran. After all, Iran is quiet famous nowadays. Read here. Bloggers in Iran is leading a life just as dangerous as any political or social activists on the street. Due to the clamp down on media freedom by the conservative government in the past few years, the country`s online community grows in protest of the violation of their freedom of expression by the State. Sounds familiar?
Why the fear, O' my beloved country? The net can be a fair playing field for all. I should say. If we are concern about the spread of slanders ( re: slander to the State could be a critique of their economic policy to us), then what about netters that instigate spirits of racism or polarization of community? What about websites that refuse to disclose real hard facts about how the tax payers`s money are used? What about blogs that are set up merely to kow tow the leaders and brings "ampu" culture to a new height? Don't even let me go on. The net is a huge place and even that is an understatement. How do you control a borderless world? Excuse moi. Let me put it in a more effective sentence. How do you regiment the net?
Bloggers in Malaysia, unite!
