[kictanet] Communications Licencing Act

[Ali Hussein]

Solomon & listers

I hate to say this but something like this was bound to happen sooner or later to Robert.

There seems to be a belief that some bloggers cannot be held responsible for    some of the toxic stuff they write online.  Beyond the act there are still laws against abuse and its about time that we take responsibility for what we do and not hide behind some obscure online credos that say you can get away with anything you write online.

Me thinks that the same principals that apply offline should apply online. For example if you abuse me offline there are laws against that. Why should it be different online? After all shouldn't the same laws protect the one being abused? 

I know this may not be a popular thing to say right now but some one needs to say it..
