On the topic of blogging, we talked in class mostly about how people are fired and punished for blogging about work; their boss, co-workers, pictures in uniform. If the rules and regulations of the company do not clearly state what is not allowed I don't understand how they can terminate with out warning, especially for someone who has had no previous disciplinary problems.
Blogging is a form of therapy to some, and outlet, to voice opinions and complaints about their daily life. Blogging becomes useless if we are not allowed to speak our minds freely without punishment. The same constitutional rights should apply, freedom of speech and press until it becomes violent or slander. Careers should not be on the line when blogging.
The other side, however, has a valid point. If you have complaints about your job, take them up with your boss. If they are day to day miniscule problems, write them some place else where the public eye can't see. If this is so, blogging becomes obsolete. Which is maybe the end goal anyway.
