Filipino blogger arrested? Who? When?
What’s your take on the concern raised by Benj on his post at FilipinoVoices.com: The Worst-Case Scenario: The Cyber Crackdown?
“…Opening the path to blogging to people like Lozada and Panlilio seems to be a double-edged sword….”
“…While the value of freedom of expression is undeniable and is arguably a concept that should almost supersede any other idea out there, this move also exposes the once sheltered community of bloggers to possible run-ins with the administration…”
“…Filipino political bloggers have always had their way all these years. No one has ever been charged and they could criticize using the strongest terms but what happens once the spotlight finally hits this corner of cyberspace….”
“…With more eyes and ears listening in to blogs, we may be just a few months away from seeing our first blogger arrest.”
Do you also have reservations about this?
