The Vietnamese government has barred individuals from sharing news articles on their personal blogs or through social media. A decree which takes effect Sept. 1, says such sites "should be used to provide and exchange information of that individual only."

The Vietnamese office of REASON24/7 has to be crying their monocles out.

Can we stop with the 24/7 lie? More like 18/6.

Maybe we can get the Vietnamese government to do something about it.

No. I'd rather the private entity Reason.com do something about it. Slackers.

Wait - you mean Blogs aren't news aggregators? And isn't the only function of 'social' media the propigation of webjunk? (your random vulgar joke here)

The decree, announced last Wednesday and scheduled to go into force on Sept. 1, states that personal blogs and social media sites "should be used to provide and exchange information of that individual only."

A ban on cat memes will be an up side, I suppose.

No Vietnamese girls for the photo?

*clears throat*. RACISTS!!!!

[Eduard van Haalen]

You're the racist. They're Asian - *cauc*asian. They're a tribe that lives in the Hon Kee Mountains.

So normal white people can't be from Vietnam? You're ignorant.

[VG Zaytsev]

Now that's an excellent Murrican parody.

It is personal information. It says, "This is stuff that interests me."

The personal information I want from this blog should have been in the alt-text.

My answer is: left, middle, right.
