"The European Commission proposed to hold a Culture debate in Parliament on the need for a system to identify the authors of the posts . To get going this far, not something mandatory but purely optional to avoid conflict with European legislation on electronic commerce. Thus, the blogs of authors who so wished should have a "tag" information to include the author's identity, political or social interests and social responsibility in this. According to the MEP Marta Badia, this would be a good s olution for information overload on the network, would help prevent "poisoning" and would allow users would know whether or not to trust the source (as this would be identified). "
The " trust " is normally based on the reputation of the blogger, not that you know their real identity (the journalists know their identity and are therefore no more "reliable"). Some see this as with prevention, despite being voluntary, could be designed "to end anonymity on the Net (Sánchez Almeida).

A 'blogger' on the dock
The usefulness of the proposed measure within the European Commission for Culture and Education of the European Parliament is also challenged by Julio Alonso, executive director WeblogsSL, the largest Hispanic network of blogs: "In most cases, the effect sought by the Commission and the you without registration. 80% of people sign with full name, and also whether to include advertising on your blog you are bound by the registration of advertising to identify. "
Alonso on Wednesday to face trial for violation of the honor after the publication in April 2004 of a post in which he reported in his blog about the launch of a Google Bombing against SGAE, a method by which is possible to place certain Websites in the first results of a Google search using a specific text. In this case, we established a link to the page with the title SGAE "thieves."
The General Society of Authors made contact Julio Alonso to withdraw the post, Alonso sent the managing body "that it was information and gave them the right to reply, but the answer I got is the SGAE was a victim of a conspiracy on the Internet. " Alonso did not yield to the claims of the managing and tomorrow will sit on the dock. SGAE, which has refused to make any statement when considering New York Times which is immersed in a judicial proceeding "required to remove the post, an award of 9,000 euros and assume the costs of the trial.
WeblogSL chief executive sits on a bench when the judgments are scarce, a fact that Alonso plays against: "The judge will have to explain what a blog, what a URL or what are the comments ... the tendency is to apply the law of the press when the mechanism of a medium is different: there are content managers, editors, publishers publish everything that is part of a process.
