EU-parlamentets kulturudvalg vil forbyde anonyme blogs
Først var det vort hjemlige SF, der foreslog regler, der ville kunne lukke YouTube, nu er det EU-parlamentets kulturudvalg, der vil forbyde anonyme blogs:
Concerned that blogs could prove a useful tool for the “less principled”, Estonian Socialist MEP Marianne Mikko (author of the draft report) said: “They are in position to considerably pollute cyberspace. We already have too much spam, misinformation and malicious intent in cyberspace”. She added, “I think the public is still very trusting towards blogs, it is still seen as sincere. And it should remain sincere. For that we need a quality mark, a disclosure of who is really writing and why. “Se også EU-parlamentets eget oplæg her.
Jeg ved ikke, om man skal grine eller græde: Grine af, at politikerne, in casu EU-parlamentet, virkelig tror, at de kan vedtage lovgivning, der lukker Wordpress.com, blogger.com, urbanblog.dk, nyhedsavisen.dk og alle de andre blogtjenester med mulighed for anonymitet?
Eller skal man græde ved tanken om, at de måske rent faktisk kan gøre det?
Et citat som dette kan måske få nogen til at mene, at man bør grine:
German Liberal Jorgo Chatzimarkakis acted as advisor for the Economic and Monetary committee. He told us that "bloggers cannot automatically be considered a threat, but imagine pressure groups, professional interests or any other groups using blogs to pass on their message. Blogs are powerful tools, they can represent an advanced form of lobbyism, which in turn can be seen as a threat". He said "any blogger representing or expressing more than their personal view should be affected by this report."Æh - blogging er kun tilladt for privatpersoner? Vi skal stække "interessegruppers" mulighed for at påvirke opinionen? Men er det ikke det, debatten i et demokratisk samfund skal forestille at handle om?
