Blogger registration, revisited
Apparently, the whole idea behind registering bloggers is coming back. The esteemed Information, Communications and Culture Minister, Rais Yatim stated:
“The idea is good, but we have to see it from the legal aspects and from the aspect of freedom of Internet use.”
What is this? A world of X-Men, where there are mutant registrations, in where the special powers are that of questioning the current administration and providing a more balanced (or biased) view of the political scene? Ptff.
Curious I am, about the Multimedia Signature Act. I don’t think anyone in their right minds, is interested in registering the fact that they write a blog. But its great to see the threat of bloggers so mainstream, that they’ve been talking about registration for at least two years.
Why don’t we get registration done on parties that send spam emails and also those who sent banks phishing emails first?
