Limitation in Freedom of Speech?

Blogger faced a lot of problem from the authority and laws even for those in the democratic countries. For example, Charles LeBlanc was sent to prison for accused that a police officer as a “sexual pervert” in his blog. A 52 years old man, he said that he had learned some lessons and he thinks that there should be a limitation even in the freedom of expression. There are pro and cons in everything, it is best to have a little limitation in every posts in blogging to keep one safe since there are laws that may apply in each of the bloggers.

By facilitating the open sharing of ideas, information and perspectives, blogging in Malaysia has the potential to serve as a democratizing force in a country with little freedom of expression.  Democratic expectations of the local blogosphere must be tempered, however, with a realistic understanding of its limitations and of the government’s hegemonic, and sometimes coercive, mechanisms of control.
