Bloggers' Rights

Electronic Frontier Foundation(EFF) is an organization that bottle for bloggers' rights in the courtroom. Their website lists some bloggers' rights as below[1]:


  • Bloggers can be journalists (and journalists can be bloggers). Blogger is a journalist, with all of the attendant rights, privileges, and protections.

  • Bloggers are entitled to free speech. Internet bullies shouldn't use copyright, defamation, or other claims to chill your legal speech.

  • Bloggers have the right to political speech.

  • Bloggers have the right to stay anonymous. Blogger could keep his or her identity private when he or she blog. it is as constitutional right to anonymous speech online.

  • Bloggers have freedom from liability for hosting speech the same way other web hosts do.
