Topic of the Week
Should blogging, as a form of freedom of speech and expression, be limited?
Context: The advancement of the world wide web has brought opportunities for individuals to exchange relevant information. Blogs, message boards, e-mails, and community websites (i.e. friendster, myspace) have served as avenues for many internet users to share their thoughts, ideas, and opinions regarding any topic they may desire to discuss. However, like any form of communication in the real world, there are many drawbacks and limitations that users and readers must be aware of. In previous weeks, we have discussed issues on the internet such as the limitations to pornography and software sharing. But one of the most important topics that should bring awareness not just to journalists but to all web users is the limitation to freedom of speech in blogs. As bloggers and readers, do you think blogging should be limited? Many might contest that we may write anything in our personal blogs. After all, they are avenues to freedom of expression. But do blogs make a special exception from the rules in the real world?

I don't think there is such a thing as being able to communicate all you want coz man is not perfect and if we are allowed to communicate anything....chaos
Hm... blogs are "diaries", right?
Readers should read at their own risk! Haha ^_^
Blogs are venues for PERSONAL expressions and should be taken at that. Even if the blog site is owned by some prominent person/writer/author/what have you... you must still maintanain a certain level of caution when reading them.
Think of it this way...
You met Albert Einstein and told you that the world is flat and that the earth is the center of the Solar System... Would you believe him just because he is Enstein?
The same is true with blogs. Filter the information and do your own share. Check for inconsistencies and accuracy. Don't be like a sponge that absorbs everything.
Blogs are not scapegoats! The decision to believe (or not to) rests on YOU.
