While this topic is not exactly WordPress related it deals directly with our ability to write. Freedom of speech defined in US Constitution means nothing to some corporations who find that it is easier to get a blogger silenced by a threat of lawsuit. Even if they have to follow through with that frivolous lawsuit – it is a drop in the bucket from them, which a HUGE financial burden for 99.9% of the bloggers!

If you think it will never apply to you – think again! Anytime you write an article and share your opinion you are painting a target on your own back and it is only a matter if anyone willing to hit it or not. But time might come when they will! Learn how you can help fellow blogger who is in this position right now!

How do you silence the Blogger?

By filing a lawsuit against him! Or at least that is the thinking behind the ePerks actions against Vladimir “Vlad” Zablotskyy who is being sued for blogging.

In reality they are probably no too far off as about 90% of the bloggers don’t even make enough to cover their hosting fees and even a thought of lawsuit has quite chilling effect. But while many bloggers don’t have money – we have passion, passion and ability to speak. Free Speech still hasn’t been canceled in this country!

…or did I miss something? I think NOT and even though my blog is unrelated to the topic and I do try to stay away from these topics – I have decided to add my voice to the issue, because I hate bullying by anyone, especially corporations…
