Censorship on the Net

PCC to regulate UK bloggers?

Baroness Buscombe, the new chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, has ambitions for her organisation that go beyond the traditional newspaper companies.
She wants to examine the possibility that the PCC's role should be extended to cover the blogosphere, which is becoming an increasing source of breaking news and boasts some of the media's highest-profile commentators, such as the political bloggers Iain Dale and Guido Fawkes. Do readers of such sites, and people mentioned on them, deserve the same rights of redress that the PCC offers in respect of newspapers and their sites?

blog it
1984 and all that.
With the BBC still reeling from its first real taste of freedom when it begrudgingly let Nick Griffiths appear on QT, the Labour control thugs want to silence the whole world.
Simple response. I will move my site abroad and pay for the privilege.
