Two Irainan bloggers have been jailed for writing in their online diaries.
The crackdown against blogging world wide is becoming more and more of a problem, and you’d be suprised at how many people you know have a blog. A blog is a personal diary that the world can read, because it’s on the Internet. Unfortunatly people don’t always like what is written about them and you don’t have to be in China to get into hot water over what is written. You could live in a perfectly “free” society such as Britain, and rasie your opinion once and that would be it. None the less a blog can be an invaluable tool to highlight events or thoughts that may go either unheard or ignored.
Closer to home people are being sacked by writing about their days at work, some claim as therapy, even if they neither identify themselves or employers. The freedom that a blog gives is a valuable tool to the person writing and also to the person reading. As a reader a persons blog gives an insight into a life that you may otherwise have been blissfully unware. The understanding of what someone else is trying to communicate is not only human, it’s devine, understanding is devine and understanding is what most bloggers are about, making sense or humor, “this is what I think about”.
Bloggers are not out to contest the very fabric of the world order, we are here to tell you a story about us, the world around us, even if you don’t agree with what a blogger writes. Perhaps a blogs pupose is to educate or entertain you and leave something behind for the world to read.
My blogs focuses on what I think of the world and what’s going on in my life hopefully I can raise issues and make readers aware of things they aren’t told or aware of that maybe of benefit to them, for example checking moles every month. In the same vein I just wanted to join the blogshpere in alerting the world to the jailings of people who speak up against repression and the sackings of employees who don’t even identify the employers they are typing about.
