A proposed law in Italy would require that all bloggers register with a national database. This is scary. Governments all over the world appear to be hugely out of touch with modern technologies and their uses.

    Dear Karen, thanks for your post!
    The blogger community in Italy was really thrown by this unhappy initiative of our Government.
    There were many reactions (including my personal one..). Now, some ministers say it was a sort of “misundertanding” and somehow distanced themselves from the initial proposal… (One said he did’nt read the text…sigh..).
    In these days our government is in a more general trouble.. Anyway, we remain on the alert!
    I’m sure that reactions from abroad too can help to definitely cancel this monstrosity!!

    YES, unfortunately, but the bill should be modified. I’ve just discussed the case in my blog.
