As it happens, ignoring the EU laws on this will be extremely easy to do, which will drive Troskyists like you mad with fury. We have the technology:-). Tough shit
You are so blind. Having the state mandate the form of debate on a fucking BLOG is freedom? ANYONE can start a blog for free, so save the bullshit about having to pay for free speech. If someone uses MY comment section, they are using bandwidth I pay for and if I want to delete their remarks, I bloody well will. Michael Moore spews a fountain of laughable and demonstrable lies only a credulous fool would believe and guess what... I do not think the state should FORCE him to allow me to post my rebuttals on HIS website. If I want to point out what a liar and blowhard he is, I can set up my own site... as indeed I have.
The fact they are not just trying to make the 'powerful' (by which they mean 'not under state control') established media be subject to regulations but are trying regulate Blogs... I mean BLOGS???? You know, those things available for free from www.blogger.com, shows that only a complete half-wit would think this has ANYTHING to do with FAIRNESS. No, it is about smothering independent and dissenting voices and bringing POLITICS (which means the use of the collective means of coercion) into a purely SOCIAL medium.
Our largely UK based blog will simply not comply with this attempt by the superstate to intermediate itself into our free speech on our private property (the server space we rent). Message to the EU: drop dead.
