Yet another attack on freedom on the Internet: plugged the mouth within 48 hours ... otherwise make 13 thousand euro

By now we are accustomed. We do not make time to rejoice because an amendment like the one D'Alia is withdrawn after a hard and long battle on the Internet, there appears another proposal to say the least absurd. L 'latest attempt to put a gag on the Internet. This time it is expected that the draft law on wiretapping with regard to what are called the "computer sites" ... I will be very brief, because the text of the bill is very explanatory and indicted because if we add that on this bill the government has placed its trust will be easy to imagine what will happen. Just read the article. 1, paragraph 28 of the order to understand the gravity of the situation dlla:

Article 8 of the Law of 8 February 1948. 47, as amended, shall be amended as follows:
a) after the third paragraph shall be inserted as follows:
"For the radio or television broadcasts, statements or corrections shall be made ​​in accordance with Article 32 of the consolidated radio and television, in the decree of 31 July 2005, n. 177. For computer sites, statements or corrections are published, within forty-eight hours of the request, with the same graphic characteristics, the same access methodology to the site and the same visibility of the news which they refer ";

[...]

e) After the fifth paragraph shall be inserted as follows:
"Same procedure can avail the offender, if the Director of the newspaper or periodical, the head of the radio, television or computer transmissions or data transmission do not publish the denial or the correction sought."

In a nutshell when this text is approved, you can force the owner of a blog to remove the content of an item within 48 hours of the request by those who consider themselves injured. The fundamental problem is that in this way, in amniera very similar to what happens in the newspapers, the simple bloggers will do better not to publish content that could be uncomfortable to someone especially if they are unsure of being able to read e-mail in the hours and giorniseguenti in the publication ... otherwise they will be forced to pay a rate that fluctuates between 15 and 25 million pounds of old.

For the moment I will not add anything except my indignation. But in the coming days we will return to talk about the issue in more depth.

    @ Napolux:
    the problem is that the simple bloggers can be equated to real newspapers.
    We'll see what he thinks ... but I highly doubt sull'incostituzionalità Napolitano in a speech without a strong mobilization.

    Do not give up! Are we not owe us go.
    However, I have some clear points of this law.
    I did not understand if the request for correction must be founded (false content, defamatory or otherwise offensive), or any request made by anyone, is considered valid.
    In the second case, from what I understand, a pincopallino whatever, I wrote on the site email asking me to delete an item which does not like. In order for the law to be applied shall advise the 'competent authority. Yeah, but what authority? In Italy there are several ...
    An 'Another point: Stefano in the' article he wrote: "... you'd better not publish content that could be uncomfortable, especially if you are not sure of being able to read the mail in the days following the publication"
    This means that the request for amendment is valid only if submitted immediately after the publication of 'article to which it refers?
    In any case, how can we be sure you can read your mail?
    Often the 'ADSL and platforms that host blogs make bad jokes ...
    Well ... that strange law ...
