[blog regulation] backdoor way the vipers are trying

UKDP has a poll in his sidebar and I suggest you get over there and vote if you haven’t already done so.

One of the sickest aspects of the issue – regulating the blogosphere – is the backdoor way the regulators operate. Offer up someone respected such as Iain Dale or Laban Tall and a certain loyalty to them can be used against the bloggers in turn. They’ll never regulate me – they’ll have to block me first.

Here is UKDP’s poll so far [early days yet]: Which bloggers would you least like to see on the PCC regulatory panel for blogs?

Iain Dale 6 votes
Tim Ireland 7 votes
Stephen Tall 2 votes
Tim Montgomery 0 votes
Lynne Featherstone 2 votes
Daniel Finkelstein 3 votes
Alex Hilton 6 votes
I refuse to recognise the blog kitemark and oppose censorship of any sort. 25 votes
