Vietnam imposes new blogging restrictions
Found on International Business Times on Thursday, 25 December 2008
Vietnam has approved new regulations banning bloggers from discussing subjects the government deems sensitive or inappropriate and requiring them to limit their writings to personal issues.
The rules, which were approved Dec. 18, attempt to rein in Vietnam's booming blogosphere. It has become an alternative source of news for many in the communist country, where the media is state-controlled.
Sure should be interesting. Censorship doesn't really work that easy on the Internet. As soon as the blog is hosted on a server outside Vietnam, officials will have a tough times taking it down.
