San Francisco May Regulate Blogging

Posted by Eric at 2:19 pm. Filed under: General

From SF:

Just when you thought the Federal Election Commission had it out for the blogosphere, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors took it up a notch and announced yesterday that it will soon vote on a city ordinance that would require local bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commission and report all blog-related costs that exceed $1,000 in the aggregate.

Blogs that mention candidates for local office that receive more than 500 hits will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits, according to Chad Jacobs, a San Francisco City Attorney.

Personal Democracy wonders if they will be forced to register their own blogs.

UPDATE: Riding Sun thinks this accusation is overblown.
