Looks like insecure governments and organizations around the world are reacting predictably to blogging. Clamp downs are happening all over the world, in China (predictably) and even in the US.
Here are 2 links for the intrepid blogger, giving guide lines on the small steps that may be taken to fight against this rising tide of political intimidation:
1. Committee to Protect Bloggers
for the latest news and views on bloggers facing actions from governments and corporate bodies
2. Reporters sans frontieres
a good handbook about how to protect yourself and your blog, includes a good section on leaving as little electronic clues to your identity as possible while blogging, real Cold War style cloak-and-dagger stuff!
Well, so much for that. Honestly, I'm sick and tired all this things that insecure people do when they perceive a threat to their power base. What was the Chinese proverb again? To kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Nuts.
