The coming crackdown on blogging (News)

Thursday, March 3, 2005 09:01

A judge has ruled that the Federal Election Commission must regulate the activity of Internet bloggers. In other words, linking to a campaign website or sending out emails in support of your favorite candidate could get you investigated. I don't see how this could possibly stand in any court that has even a shred of respect for the First Amendment, but we'll see what happens. Boo to Senators McCain and Feingold for their anti-free speech stance.
