Silence the bloggers in Tennessee
Bill Hobbs has a very interesting and enlightening post about the current Tennessee bill from Rob Briley which would require bloggers to remove any statement about public officials that could be called defamatory, without proof of actual malice. This is a dangerous move to silence the blogosphere. It is dangerous because of the board language within the bill. Give the post a read and see what you think yourself, but it looks to me that either the bill needs to be dropped or re-written severely to fix the current broad terms within the bill.

This is a free country, or at least we keep thinking/saying it is.
If we didn’t have the Blogs out there doing the work of the media, there is a
whole lot of information we would never know/hear. Keep up the good work.
