The state might well decide to limit access to external news sites and other web portals, but this law does not specifically provide for that. Already, many Zimbabweans have adopted pseudonyms or opted for anonymity in blogging and even in letters to the editor and other forms of expression. One fear is that they law will further contribute to self censorship, both in what is expressed and what is received. That is, I sincerely hope we do not see some people asking to be removed from email subscriber lists or distribution lists for fear of “reprisals” if the state knew what they were reading, and from whom.

I am wondering what your feelings are about this law and how it will impact on yourself and other bloggers in Zimbabwe as well as your access to blogs and news sites outside of the county?
