Just when you thought that they couldn't loose their minds any more up in San Francisco, they go and prove you wrong.
From Personal Democracy Forum:
San Francisco May Regulate BloggingNormally, I don't like to link to forums as a source, but if you follow the link you'll find the actual Board of Supervisors documentation.
Just when you thought the Federal Election Commission had it out for the blogosphere, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors took it up a notch and announced yesterday that it will soon vote on a city ordinance that would require local bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commission and report all blog-related costs that exceed $1,000 in the aggregate.
Blogs that mention candidates for local office that receive more than 500 hits will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits, according to Chad Jacobs, a San Francisco City Attorney.
The entire Board is set to vote on the measure on April 5th, 2005. I wonder if they'll be forced to register their own blogs!
The legislation was written by Supervisor Sophie Maxwell.
And if this is a late April Fool's prank, it's a good one cause it just boggles me as to why these kooks would even consider trying to regulate blogging within the city limits. That would be like trying to herd cats with a snow plow....
