Bloggers ordered to drop cloak of secrecy

Hasan Suroor

Critics say it is a blow to whistle-blowers who will now be deterred from speaking out.



...........anonymous blogs and “tweets” bloggers in Britain were stripped of their right to anonymity after a shock court verdict.

In a judgment that, many believe, strikes at the heart of free speech and sets a dangerous precedent, the High Court ruled that bloggers could not expect to operate behind a cloak of secrecy because blogging was not a “private activity.”

Bloggers are furious and some have gone as far as to liken the ruling to a form of covert censorship arguing that it would “kill off” independent voices and take the fun out of blogging as people would be careful about what they write.

..........

Meanwhile, it is true — as some have argued — that anonymity is often abused by bloggers and there is need to regulate them. But is a ban really the answer? For, aren’t all freedoms, ultimately, open to abuse?

ஆக, லண்டனில் உயர்நீதி மன்றத்தின் தீர்ப்பு இது. பதிவர்கள் தங்கள் சொந்தப் பெயரில்தான் பதிவிட வேண்டும்.

எதிர்ப்பு, அது இது எல்லாம் ஒரு பக்கம் இருக்கட்டும். யார் எந்தப் பெயரில் எழுதுகிறார்கள் என்றெல்லாமா யாரும் சோதனை செய்துவிட முடியும்?
