Is there such a thing as 'Bloggers Rights'? Are we supposed to have more freedoms on the internet to say things than we would have under the laws of our own countries, in say, the print media?
I ask this because I am aware of increasing censorship of the internet in some parts of the world. Is it getting tighter or are we just more aware of it? In South East Asia we have recent reports of Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin an online commentator being put in police custody and served a two year detention order (without trial) last night under the Internal Security Act.
In next door Thailand, as followers of the discussion on Australian Harry Nicolaides plight may have noticed, it may be his reviewed blogging about a book some suspect has not even been written which has caused his arrest. He faces 15 years for insulting the Crown Prince (and possibly the King himself).
