Venezuela seeks to regulate Internet with media bill | Reuters

Venezuela seeks to regulate Internet with media bill Reuters: Venezuela plans to include the Internet in a law that regulates the media, under a proposed bill presented to parliament on Thursday that the opposition claims will result in censorship.

Well that's not a surprise given that Chavez has closed down TV and radio stations that have showed any hint of opposition to him. I had hoped that this would be the first century without maniacle despots but guess I was wrong again.

Apparently the bill seeks to limit adult content on the Internet so that it is only available after midnight. Good insight there that the lawmakers have got no idea at all how to police the laws they are introducing. Watch this one - there is a story developing.
