European Digital Rights Initiative (EDRI) just started a blog on EDRI’s activities (N.B. the first message was published by Bogdan Manolea).
As there is written on their website:

European Digital Rights was founded in June 2002. Currently 28 privacy and civil rights organisations have EDRI membership. They are based or have offices in 17 different countries in Europe.
Members of European Digital Rights have joined forces to defend civil rights in the information society. The need for cooperation among organizations active in Europe is increasing as more regulation regarding the internet, copyright and privacy is originating from European institutions, or from International institutions with strong impact in Europe.
Some examples of regulations and developments that have the attention of European Digital Rights are data retention requirements, spam, telecommunications interception, copyright and fair use restrictions, the cyber-crime treaty, rating, filtering and blocking of internet content and notice-and-takedown procedures of websites.

Speaking of which … there are more and more talks on Romanian blogs about recognizing the ‘jurnalist status’ for bloggers, about ‘organizing the Romanian blogosphere’, ‘rules’ to be adopted etc.
Maybe this is not a bad thing, but I wonder how many of them do realize that this means setting limits, boundaries, monitoring, controlling, filtering … censorship …so much with the ‘absolute freedom’ on the internet. And who will be the Big Brother?

On 2nd of October, Mr. Stavros Dima, the EU Commissioner for Environment, has just joined the blogosphere! I predict it will be one of the most visited blogs in the next months.
