Coming Crackdown on Blogging

(From cNet’s news.com.com🙂

[Federal Elections Commissioner] Bradley Smith says that the freewheeling days of political blogging and online punditry are over.

In just a few months, he warns, bloggers and news organizations could risk the wrath of the federal government if they improperly link to a campaign’s Web site. Even forwarding a political candidate’s press release to a mailing list, depending on the details, could be punished by fines.

So I guess I’d better just keep my big mouth shut.
