Singaporean bloggers and podcasters have had mixed reactions to the governments ban on political discussions on blogs and podcasts. This ban comes at a time when the Singaporean General Elections are drawing near. Some believe that they will have to be extra careful with their on-line discussions while others think that they can still push boundaries as the rules are not yet clearly drawn.
Associate Professor Ben Detenber, a faculty member at the School of Communication and Information, NTU and an associate of the Singapore Internet Research Center says that the ban can act as a warning to netizens that laws exist here to 'punish' them if they are violated.
