I'd have liked the government of Singapore to try to enforce their jurisdiction overseas.<BR/><BR/>A Blogger Registration Act might have been a good thing in the long run, namely because of the backlash from students.

Ever since the Patriot Act came into effect in the US, there has been more surveillance by govt on the citizens. And as long as there is "terrorism", rest assured there'll be state-sanctioned data gathering.<BR/><BR/>The FBI, for e.g. can track any computer connected to the net.<BR/><BR/>The question still boils down to <I>what</I> govts will do with all this information it gathers. Will it be used to "fight crime" or will it be used to limit the freedom of individuals.<BR/><BR/>Giving credit where credit is due, the S'pore govt has made the "right decision" to not bring in legislation for bloggers to register.<BR/><BR/>...BUT... that doesn't mean that they'll NEVER bring in such legislation.<BR/><BR/>AHA. A loophole, in the govt's favour.<BR/><BR/>Let's see what happens at the next election...Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1152351996046379972006-07-08T17:46:00.000+08:002006-07-08T17:46:00.000+08:00Like I will register if they tell me to!

They were never proven defamatory in a court of law. Just because a PAP power boy in A*Star said they were defamatory does not make it so. And since Chen's remarks were forced from his website out of fear, not due process, the public at large will never know if they were truly defamatory or not. That the newspaper in Singapore says simply "defamatory" instead of "allegedly defamatory" is an example of extremely bad journalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1152319570997588652006-07-08T08:46:00.000+08:002006-07-08T08:46:00.000+08:00"Fortunately for bloggers here, the 27-member comm..."Fortunately for bloggers here, the 27-member committee, which is made up of government officials, industry leaders and academics who advise the MDA on Internet and new media-related content issues, concluded that blogs were simply "old wine in new wine bottles" -- no different from websites or Web forums where people can post what they do or think.<BR/>"<BR/><BR/>you want to bet on that!
