Well, just for fun... Anyone knows that the Italian government is studying a law to control blogs and apply censure on the offending (for the moral, the ethics and religion) ones? And this is intended for social networking, too. If the law passes, then no more Facebook in Italy, nor Myspace or yahoo groups... Pretty liberal, for a Government led by the owner of three quarters of the informations networks in italy (i.e. various television networks, and varius newspapers and magazines, too).

I hate to be an anorak -- well, at least in this particular case -- because I somewhat dislike the Google guys too. They really can be arrogant pr*cks. However, in the interest of accuracy in reporting: that was Yahoo! (not Google) that gave up the dissident journalist's IP addresses." > > > > > >
