From petty councilmen to megacorporations, all are trying to figure out how to control and milk it for both information and money. It isn't web bloggers and site hosts they have to fear. They are right there out in the open and for the most part are just Joe Citizen trying to add his thoughts. If they are concerned for terrorists, folk that are causing troubles, and malcontents then they best develop a new plan. This one isn't going to work for such. They are chasing the guy the earns his daily bread to support what he enjoys with this sort of tactic. Seems everybody has their own plan to police the net.

There certainly was no launch today... so maybe that's another thing they conveniently forgotten about! regards Mahmood Al-Yousif thanks for the story and link Jon, a small correction though, it’s not a law, but an administrative order, and the registration would have started from today, May 2nd, 2005, yet the interesting thing there was absolutely no announcement in any of the press today, especially that the ministry has said that today would be the “launch” of a registration drive.
