As freedom of speech wanes, it’s important to know what you can (and cannot) say. The EFF states it well on their site:
“None of this should stop you from blogging. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and Internet bullies shouldn’t use the law to stifle legitimate free expression.”
Some interesting points:
- Journalism and Blogging do go well together – especially if you need legal protection for sources.
- What is considered private can be rather surprising – and you should be up on it if you like to blog big secrets.
- If you are an ISP, you can be protected from what bloggers write on your server – and in fact, you (as a blogger) might also be protected if you open your blog to comments
Well worth a glance – give it a look-see soon.
