Slashdot.org writes about a Greek blogger who got sued and arrested, based on what someone else wrote. Blog aggregators reprint the “feed” from other blogs who are members of the list. Blogging Tories, ProgressiveBloggers.ca and the Saskblogs Aggregator are some popular aggregators in Canada. If ever one of their operators were sued or arrested, the blogosphere would take a serious hit. When bloggers are punished, freedom of speech suffers.

In sports censorship news, for some reason CKRM’s Rod Pedersen pulled a blog post he wrote concerning Gainer’s invitation to Calgary being revoked. I saw it before it displayed only the word -CENSORED-. If I get an update as to why it was pulled, I’ll post the clip I saw.

That is absolutely insane. That’s like Google getting sued for linking to a slanderous article.

That’s Greece for you I guess. Not quite the free country we expect to have here.
