read between the lines
blogtrap yawn. it is one hour since i've been updating myself reading random local blogs from here and across the border on the net and...it didn't take me long to find out the latest in the sing blogging arena: two bloggers have actually been arrested and charged over rascist remarks!the article's here (before it expires). so it's all finally come to an actual lawsuit. a real one, at that. in the past, the worst that's happened of these unfortunate bloggers who spew stuff out of their mouth without thinking the government is gonna track them down on technorati or better stuff than that is that they've been asked to apologise and shut down their blogs. fellow bloggers who are not yet aware of this (this being the actual possibility of being sent to jail over a remark you just made, or even a comment one of your readers just made), beware. it's times like these i really thank god that (1) i'm in the line that i'm studying in, therefore leaving me no choice but to keep abreast with events like these (2) i have at least enough common sense to know that practically anyone (especially the authorities) can find what you write online and come after you with legal force for it. it doesn't just happen across the border, mind you. i've read reports of these things happening in the US as well. |
