Greek government is passing a bill to restrict freedom of speech for bloggers

Anything that can't be controlled is repressed! Will Greece become the next blackhole in Web?

Because of an avalance of political corruption and scandals that came to light last months in Greece and the undrground interconnection of interests or blackmailing between corrupted reporters either TV-performers or journalists who created blogs on their own and equally corrupted politicians, govenment took the chance for more civil restrictions among others in the last four years. Now the target is the bloggers, a source of free communication, information and dialogue.

With the new act the confidentiality of the bloggers is going to be lifted, bloggers are forced to write the name of the responsible of the blog and so submitted to any kind of exposition in their real life, either their information is true or not.
