The new online media ruling

If you haven't been under a rock the past few days, you probably heard of the new Censored Jordanian court ruling that's making online content fall under media laws. These stone age, Censored laws, even though they were recently amended, are already limiting the freedom of Censored press, let alone limiting the extent to which people can express their Censored opinions online.This Censored government, which came into office with high Censored hopes, is trying to curtail the success of many online news outlets and the space that many people flock to to express, discuss, and debate. However, the Censored Judicial system in Jordan, which is no where near being Censored independent from the Censored executive branch, is merely acting on تنسيب from those with Censored influence.
What I really think of this law is that it's a
Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored.
This law if isn't official censorship, it will lead to it. People will be afraid of truly expressing their opinions and will resort to writing in code and/or not write at all. They will not be exposing shortcomings, investigating wrong doing, or critiquing government policies. And, in the absence of a parliament, any parliament, this law is in effect a way to cancel out the space between floor and ceiling. eh, raising ceilings my
Censored!

Welcome to 1800 ! this is the gov way of saying 'we know wts goin on and we will act "accordingly"'

instead of that, i suggest, they have to establish a department for following up on blogs and the social media in general to try lsn to people and answer their complains in an effort to make things better, not limit the complains by these laws!

allah yer7am el stone age, we had more freedom back then!

I know. Instead of capitalizing on the fame of Jordanian online accomplishments, they go ahead and scare people from ever typing one word online.

This law is already limiting the "freedom of the press"? Since when did Jordan or most Arab countries have freedom of the press to begin with? If citizens have to put up the pictures of the King and his nephew everywhere, how would anyone ever think there was freedom for the press?

Ali, it is Crap. I am just afraid that people would be self censoring. That's when the government wins. BTW, I couldn't post a comment on your blog!

Anon,
I meant in limiting that people have many topics that aren't allowed to talk about. They can write about corruption, for example, but without mentioning names or conducting real investigational journalism.

More of your name taking place....same old, same old. Keep the uninformed, uneducated, unknowledgable and you can controll them. I won't let them turn me into a mab3oosed one.

anon,
That's why we'll try to lobby for a change to these laws. the internet is threatening the government by making information instantaneously available.
