Should blogs be regulated is a question that has recently risen in the last few years. There are some reasons why they should have some regulations and reasons why regulations could take away the personal aspects of many blogs. Blogs should be regulated if they break the laws of libel or through podcasts break the law of slander. If these two laws are followed then personal opinions that have truth behind them should not be regulated.
The problem then arises that if a blogger purposely makes false statements on their blog can the Internet Service Provider name who created the blog. What’s the difference if Internet Service Providers are already naming names for illegally downloading? There isn’t, if someone is doing something illegally then they should be questioned, and then if convicted they must deal with the consequences. A problem I have with this is if Internet Service Providers start intruding on Internet users privacy’s that have nothing to do with the law. I can not say I know much about the laws that concern Internet privacy, but there needs to be some line that peeking on someone’s personal computer is illegal.
