#1 – The Net is a free-space.
Hah, you’re most probably a politico blogger. Government has more control over the net than they care to understand themselves. Every little cool app that allows you to see how popular you are amongst your circle of virtual friends, exists thanks to Government legislation (ok, largely the U.S. Government, but they all the same la) to track data, its origins and its destination. The Net was built to be dumb and blind. Today it is way too smart.
Are you a blogger currently being sued by the government? Well, you could potentially divert the attention away from yourself. The music industry goes after the platforms rather than the individuals who share music illegally. By focusing on the platform, they believe they can shut down the network hosting the content to thwart the act of uploading/downloading it. Quite smart. The point? Use a blog service, and argue that the service is just as responsible for hosting your supposedly seditious content. The result: Government of Malaysia vs. Google.
