: CKA Mediation and Arbitration Services BlogEurope moves to stifle free speech on the internet.
By Christopher Annunziata
According to the ABA Journal Law Blog (quoting the WSJ), Europe has moved to ban so-called
flogs (fake blogs), AstroTurf (alleged grass-roots campaigns run by corporations) and lobbying campaigns featuring sock puppets (individuals who post under numerous aliases)
Is this such a rampant problem that European legislators have nothing better to do than prohibit this? And how criminal of an activity is this that prison time is a possibility for violating this “law.” What’s next? Prison time for James Frey and Margaret B. Jones?
This would never abide here. Or would it?
