As predicted, the resolution (which is completely non-binding and has no legal effect) was voted down as it never had the slightest chance of being accepted. Please stop spreading stupid scaremongering BS like this.

So, let me get this straight…

They’re proposing a regulation that would apply to an internet activity, yet there’s no intention for anyone to regulate the Internet.
Hmmm. I wonder how many more such regulations would be needed after that, to insure that the Internet is being properly “unregulated”??

Do bloggers need quality control? NO!

The reader is supposed to have enough intelligence, or at least sense, to discriminate between garbage and quality.

While well intentioned, this legislation is likely to turn out very, very ugly.

I see nightmarish legions of ‘unintended consequences’ looming.
