Digital Fiji highlights a Fijian blog that is asking its readers to attack tourists in a bid to destabilize the military government. The blogger urges Fijian bloggers to be aware of the laws in the US where the blogging service is based. “act of publishing these posts violates several criminal laws in many countries around the world, including the United States.”

With Fiji’s government cracking down on outlets selling pirated DVDs, L. Cass pens a piece in Failed Paradise criticizing these “cheating” retailers but also lamenting their downfall
Jonathan, the writer of the blog Oceanic: User Experiences from the South Pacific reports on a consumer complaint against his Fiji-based advertising agency stating that his advert for a local ISP attempts to benefit from the Swine Flu epidemic (now called H1N1) by misleading consumers into thinking internet service “is like a prescription drug.” He wonders how people can protest against his work, while much of the local media prints “sensationalist” and “inaccurate” headlines about the flu scare.

Since Global Voices had advocated the freedom of bloggers in Fiji, I think it failed to address the responsibility of those freedoms.
The write up on the issue of Fiji military tracking down bloggers was comprehensive, compared to this one. It does not even decry the use of blogs to promote violence.
Does this reflect fair and balanced coverage on Fiji blogs, when you select a few to comment on.
I agrre with laminar-flow, we should talk abut responsibilities too.Recently an Iranian blog put another bloger’s life in danger by revealing his identity.We just criticised provider that shutdown his blog.It is just like we say hey give gun to him and let him shoot who he wants!
