Wow, and I thought the USA was bad with censorship. Everyone should have the right to freedom of speech. Blogging isn’t a form of newspaper, it’s more of an online journal people can see and read.

“the likelihood of Fascists seizing power in Italy diminishing to zero”

Um, if you haven’t been keeping track of Italian politics recently, the Fascists are already in power – and even trying to ‘rehabilitate’ the notion of Fascism.
