China bloggers forced to fess up

If you want to instantly turn blogging content into dishwater or largely propaganda, just follow the model the Chinese government is considering - bloggers using their real names. That's not to say you can't have a totally whacked blog name in China like 750 Volts-The Third Rail on the Left Side or 1/2deadstock. Rather, the Chinese blogger would have to register his or her blog using his or her real name so the government could act if said blogger was spreading hooliganish falsehoods (that's the Chinese government interpretation of falsehood, BTW...I would NOT want my name used if I saying nasties blogs must be saying nasties about the government). Again, this is another attempt by bureacrats to control the most unruly of mediums, the Internet. It's reminiscent of the Chinese government plan in 1999 when a Chinese citizen had be buy at the nearest Post Office at an exhorbitant price of $75 month.
Can such a blog identification program D plan succeed? Yuk....just the sound of it!http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061023/tc_nm/china_blogs_dc_2 http://news3.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-10/22/content_5235912.htm

It perhaps can work in communist China. I don't think such a plan would have much luck in the good old USA. Not even under the current administration....what is that you folks call him? Bushie?

Using real names is a front, if the government wants to find out who you are, then they can and will. A good point by Piense El Tanque, China is COMMUNIST, people forget this little fact. They are still an opressive, controlling, dominant government over their people and continue to violate human rights on every front, why should the internet be any different?
