Ban on blogging

This year's Pan American Games, which will be held in Brazil this summer, is banning athletes, doctors and coaches from blogging during the games. Game organizers say the ban, which will impact about 7,000 people, is being done in order to protect "online use of game information and photographs" and be able to control the images projected from the event. It's an interesting article, especially in light of last night's discussion on censorship.

I wonder what they'd do if massive numbers of people decided to video it from their cell phones...
