[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40922840]He's not online at the moment.[/QUOTE] Thank fuck.
To me, it's just another Dubai. No-one in the western world gives a shit, and now they want money for news? Well sorry but no-one will pay to report on them, so they will vanish from the news.
Did anyone even read the article? It's a $50,000 bond which you would lose if you're in breach of content laws, you don't pay $50,000 just to report on news.. This is just extending what already applies to traditional media to popular news sites
