Unitie! Resisist! Organise !
The freedom from undue intervention, either from the state or from otherm organised sections of civil society is one of the fundamnetal principles of Blogging. The blogging community is united in the common defence of the right of free expression in cyberspace in the same way in which the philosophe of the eightenth century defended the freedom of the press. While the Justice Wendell Holmes principle applies to Blogging, there cannot and should not be any penalty or procecution for views expressed wihin the blogging community. Like free airwaves the broadband is also dedicated to freedom of expression, the sole limiting condition being public acceptability.
The freedom of expression so cherished by bloggers all over the world is now being threatened and bloggers are being procecuted for views expressed in their blog sites. The case of the American air hostess, Ellen Simonetti is case in point. She is well within her right to post any picture on her blog and her employers have no right whatsoever to charge her for her activity as a blogger.
Corporated America has begun to patrol the information superhighway and I can relate the story of Joe Gordon who was dismissed from his job for blogging. Reading, writing, blogging and so on are fundamental rights and no employer has the right by law to interfere.
