Ministry of Disiformation snopes on blogs
February 5, 2008
This was published in Alwatan daily in kuwait ( same people that seem to hate & attack blogs for some reason )
فريق متخصص شكلته الحكومة «لاعداد ضوابط رقابة على مستخدمي الانترنت ومؤسسي المواقع الالكترونية والمدوّنات السياسية»، يكون باكورة تشريع يتضمن عقوبات محددة تقر في مجلس الامة
A specialized team formed by the government for the preparation of checks and control over internet users and electronic sites and political blogs which would be the bases of a legislation with specified penalties to be set up by the parliament
The world is passing us and all what the government care about is what blogs are saying ?
China has tried before you and its failing , they had better technology , they had better knowledgeable manpower and had a bigger market ( good for pressure on companies like google / yahoo ) we don’t have any of that stop wasting your resources on things that wouldn’t imporve anything
Have you seen Kuwait TV ? wait i don’t think anyone watch it anymore even , i have visited many friends houses who do not have Kuwait channels on satalite even , have you seen Kuwait Radio ? worse shape even , go see those
oh and about the law , if there was any need to register i would not register and would contest the law in court god willing ( ان شاء الله)
The world is Watching , the ball in your court MOdI , lets see what you do with it

How can they regulate blogs?
The writers are unknown (or unproven) and the content itself is hosted in USA or Europe (and protected by free speech).
For the record, TheKuwaiti.com is brought to you by seventeen different people from seventeen different nationalities (non of which are Kuwaiti or live in Kuwait).

I think the whole Government should be a shamed first of the power crisis, how they spent 10 million KD just to beg people not to lose it, and yet they all act like there is nothing wrong.
As for Ministry of Information specific, what about the twisted thoughts brought through Showtime and Orbit? Why are they out of reach and single individuals are punished for single comment?
