I've said before (twice) that it's all happening in France. What I meant was the way in which so many people and businesses have embraced new media tools like blogs. What I certainly didn't mean was attempts to silence a blogger because he posts comment and opinion that are critical of the mayor of the town in which he lives. Christophe Grebert, citizen blogger who was close to $1000 of donations from fellow bloggers. I can't believe this story and I hope of course he will win. According to a Code Napolon, I find it hard to believe that critical commentaries posted in his blog could be grounds for a lawsuit. And not only that, the fund to launch the lawsuit comes out of the town's budget. Surely not the best way to spend money on behalf of the citizens? France may well be the leading European country for the uptake of blogs, but something like this seems to be ridiculous. Good luck, Christophe!
