Blogger Registration

Boing Boing has a story about attempts in Italy to pass a law to have bloggers register with the government and to ban anonymous posts to the internet. Scary. We rightly criticise countries like China or Iran when they crack down on bloggers yet when a member of the EU tries to do the same thing no one is concerned?

  1. I wouldn't be too worried about it, because even if the Italians are demented enough to implement this the EU will squash it pretty quickly.

I allow people to comment anonymously, many blogs dont. If you want to express an opinion and throw insults my way but are afraid to back up your statements with an ID at least back up your opinions and insults with a logical argument.

Unfortunately due to spammers and people posting libel comments I've turned on moderation and just deleted the spam comments.
