Let's see if I can get this right without cheating...
A couple of days ago, the President(?) of Venezuala(?), Mr. Chavez(?) (okay, feel free to add in the correct title, country and name! The rest of the information is correct - and even accurate!, went on record that saying that the Internet should be "regulated" and censored. As one example, he had stated that his opponenets had published blatantly false accusations against him.
For one thing, I don't see how it can be possible to regulate the Internet. It will always be the Wild Wild West and no sooner will they have one hole in the dyke plugged then another will occur (to mix some metaphors I guess!). That having been said - even if they found a way to regulate the Internet - to pass legislation about what can and cannot be said - how on earth to they plan on enforcing the regulations? Will each government body be responsible for their own citizens? Just sounds very pie-in-the-sky to me.
