The country formerly known as fascist Italy makes blogging a 2 year offense! Claiming it is the same as publishing an unregistered newspaper, the first victim of this law was someone who wrote unkind things about the Italian government. Essentially the blogs are subject to the laws governing newspaper publishing, which means people could not freely publish their thoughts, preventing them any right to criticize the government! It is unclear when this law will be taken on by the EU.
