Concern

[pecunium]

Been a busy couple of days (and the modem died Tues. night, so I'm behind on all sorts of things, more detailed review of Noise Ninja, second draft of the review of the D2H, uploading pictures to LJ, sidereading, the usual).

But I did, in my quick skim of things this morning find, Possible clampdown on blogging.

If this ends up doing what CNET says it might (define the use of computers to do grassroots work, and links to campaigns) as contributions, worth the value of money raised, not the cost of time/equipment/money spent, blogging as we know it, is mostly dead.

And my first thought when reading the CNET piece, was how perfect this is for an adminstration that wants no desent. The one sentence in there about McClain and the other senator wanting email regulated-- that sends chills up my spine.

I see implications here far beyond political campaigns. How are they going to keep track of this? How will they monitor what goes back and forth in email? Are they going to have people surfing the net just looking for who is commenting on politics and monitor them?

One Judge's opinion or not, how can they even think it could possibily be consitutional to monitor people's blogs and emails? I find this very scary given the Bush record so far.
