Blogger Registration May Be Required

Update 7:22pm, 8 April 2007:

From Star Online TechCentral "Shaziman denies censorship goal"

"The plan to register bloggers is merely to assess the situation and keep track on how many bloggers there are in the country and on the information provided by them. It has nothing to do with censoring the contents in the blogs," he said, adding that the plan has yet to be finalised by the Government.

*****

Bloggers blogging through locally hosted sites carrying the ".my" suffix may soon need to register themselves, according to Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor. According to him, it is one of the methods the government is pursuing to prevent spread of malicious and negative content over the net. WHAT??? Next thing you know, there will be no more internet because all these can never stopped.
