This is serious, guys. This is a direct affront to our freedom of expression. We will be asked to REGISTER our blogs. With the Government. Or else be fined. Simply put – what if the Government doesn’t like what we have to say? What’s to stop It from prosecuting us and denying us a platform to air our views? What’s next? Will They propose to regulate our private conversations? Tap our phones? Read our emails?
WHAT’S NEXT?
