A South Korean blogger who has been critical of government ecnomic policy is facing an 18 month gaol sentence.
Prosecutors demanded an 18-month sentence Monday for a popular South Korean blogger who is accused of spreading false financial information in a case that has ignited a debate about freedom of speech in cyberspace.
Bloggers don’t have sub editors to save us from ourselves so we have only ourselves to blame if we defame someone or spread false information.
However, call me cynical if you will, but I suspect a government acting against a blogger in this way might have more to do with censorship than any concern for the facts.

Actually I think bloggers do have sub editors, other bloggers. They will point out your mistakes a lot more quickly than a sub editors.
