The Freedom To Blog
Bloggers hoped this would be the week that both Congress and the Federal Election Commission took a stand for largely unfettered online political speech, but both of them balked.
The FEC postponed by a week its decision on new campaign finance rules for the Internet, and the House indefinitely delayed floor debate on a bill designed to exempt most bloggers from any such rules. The FEC now plans to tackle the subject March 23.
Other stories this week include the Justice Department's attempt to get data from Google, the House Judiciary Committee's fight for its turf in the telecommunications debate and Congress' push toward consensus on registering sex offenders. Listen to the podcast for the details.
