Bloggers Beware!

Think you can write anything in your blog and not be bothered by anyone else in real life? Think again.

In Blogger gets night visit from US Secret Service, we read about Annie (a LiveJournal blogger) who now has a file at the FBI because she posted something that allegedly may have been taken as a threat.

The "offending post" has been removed, and Annie is also planning to delete comments made on her blog that may also be construed as threats against someone.

Nope, no need to jump excitedly with the notion that Secret Service agents monitor your blogs. They received the complaint from an LJ reader.

Sure, rant and rave and express your political opinions. Just be careful when you post anything online. Or when you craft email, for that matter. Happy blogging!
