Bloggers protest in Singapore

Singapore's government has initiated some new rules.

Under the rules, websites with at least 50,000 unique visitors from Singapore every month that publish at least one local news article per week over a period of two months must obtain an annual license.

Websites granted a license will have to remove "prohibited content" such as articles that undermine "racial or religious harmony" within 24 hours of being notified by Singapore's media regulator, the Media Development Authority (MDA).

How long before our government tries something like that here?
