How safe are bloggers ? Do we really enjoy the freedom we think we have ?

Filed Under (Blogging) by Mani Karthik on 17-11-2008

Just came across an interesting thought through a story on the social media today.

How safe are bloggers? Do you really have the freedom that you think there is ?

According to this blog, here are three examples that might make you think twice about the freedom that you enjoy.

1. A blogger who leaked the Guns and Roses upcoming album.

2. A blogger from Burma sent to 20 years in prison for reporting on protests

3. The Sarah Palin – Africa issue

All these incidents throw light to the fact that bloggers might not be enjoying the freedom that they think they really have. It is a scary thought, but I’m sure this concept will be more talked about in the coming years.

    I feel its a bit harsh on the Burma blogger. 20yrs …. Huh thats a rigorous punishment.

    I always feel when there is lot of pornography, illegal content entertained in the internet and web arena which is in fact having huge impact on people and none gets punished. Why do such poor people get punished. I feel he might have been warned if at all its a crime to blog on certain issues on the first instinct.

    Looks like we will have to pay taxes for blogging in the future. That is scary, Did the burma blogger get any warnings before he was arrested..?

    Does that mean that, if we write bad about a Nokia phone and somehow the phone sales drop, can Nokia get us arrested..?

    As long as you can be traced - you’ll not be safe. Weigh the risks and be prudent before one post anything, I would say.

    I feel that blogging is a vehicle for people to disseminate and share information, and sometimes the “authorities” might not like what people are talking about, but they can not shut the voice of the people down any more!

    It depends on the content of your blog. I have faced this issue when I blogged about a fraud company…
