Registering Your Legal Name To Blog In China
The powers that be over the blogosphere in China, China's Net regulator Ministry of Information Industries (MII), has just put forth an initiative that may be issued in the near future, where upon all bloggers in China will be required to register their real names if they wish to continue to blog. This has been instigated in an attempt to put a stop to or get control over the insults, curses, libels and fraud typically found on blogs - a tactic that is both illogical and absurd. And what the hell are they going to do to these "real name" bloggers when they find them?!
