马晓霖的唯一合法博客

博客实名引发争论

　　中国互联网协会关于建立博客实名注册制度的提议在中国引发了激烈的争论。赞成这一制度的人声称该制度能够减少网络诈骗和人身攻击的事件，建立虚拟世界的良好秩序。但是反对者却认为这一制度的实施会使中国的互联网丧失其魅力与活力。

　　博联社，全称博客联合公社，是国内第一家实名博客网站。想要在网站注册有三种方法：邀请、推荐或自荐，但自荐要提供身份证明。博联社自从去年12月28日开通以来，已经拥有了大约2000名注册用户。网站的创始人、资深记者马晓霖认为，博联社坦诚而理性的交流氛围正是其魅力所在。

　　马晓霖(博联社创始人)：“网络信息的价值在于其真实性，而真实的信息是必须依托发布者的真实ID才能存在。只有实施实名博客系统，才能使所有的搏客作者都能做到文责自负，维护网络世界的秩序。”

　　喻国明(人大新闻学院副院长)：“虚拟世界给人们带来的无限的可能性，它满足了人们自我表达和角色扮演的愿望。比如，一位大厨在生活中可能默默无闻，但是在网络上却有可能万众瞩目。虚拟世界其实也为用户提供了一个排解不良情绪的渠道。”

　　喻国明呼吁大众对于网络上的各种现象持更加宽容的态度，并且强调现实社会的法规不能照搬到虚拟世界。

　　喻国明：“即使我们强制实行了博客实名制，五年或十年以后它也会被取消的，因为它不符合中国社会文化发展的潮流。选择匿名是老百姓的基本权利，只有立法部门能够限制这种权利，而且必须慎之又慎。”

　　截至去年底，中国已经有大约两千万博客作者，其中约三百万人创作活跃。专家指出，实名还是匿名，应该由是博客作者自己来决定。

REAL-NAME BLOGGING IGNITES DEBATE

Heated debate is underway in China as the Internet Society of China moves ahead with a proposal for a real-name blogger registration system. Supporters of the plan argue the system will reduce fraud and on-line character attack，creating good order in cyberspace. Opponents say the plan will cost the Chinese Internet its beauty and vitality. Our reporter He Yuan listened to voices from both sides.

Bolianshe, or the United Commune of Blogs，is the country's first real-name blog site. There are three ways to join—an invitation from the webmaster, a recommendation from another member, or applying with proof of identity. Two thousand users have signed up since the site launched on December 28，2006. Veteran reporter Ma Xiaolin, who founded the site, says its frank and rational atmosphere made it popular.

"The value of information lies in its authenticity. And true information cannot be separated from a true ID of its source. Only when we adopt a real-name blogging system, can we ensure every blogger is responsible for his or her posts. Only in this way can we maintain order in the cyberspace."

Ma Xiaolin says he is trying to build up a platform of communication for Chinese intellectuals. He admits it is a niche market. Veteran media scholar Yu Guoming says such real-name websites are good. But in 99% of the cases, it is anonymity that makes the Internet wonderful.

"Cyberspace gives people endless possibilities. It satisfies people's needs to express themselves and try out different roles. For example, a cook may be obscure in real life, but charismatic on the Internet. Cyberspace actually provides a good outlet for whatever tensions, pressures or ill humour he is experiencing at the moment. "

Yu Guoming points out most bloggers conduct themselves civilly and ethically. He calls on people to be more tolerant about what happens on the Internet. He argues that copying laws and regulations from the real world into the virtual one won't work. The choice of disclosing one's name or of remaining anonymous should be left to the individual. He adds real name disclosure never ought to be mandatory.

"I think even if we enforce a real-name blogger registration system, it will be abolished in five or ten years. It doesn't fit the trend of China's social and cultural development. Anonymity is a basic right of people. Restricting such rights can only be done by the legislative departments and must be done with extreme caution."

Official statistics show China had about 20 million bloggers at the end of last year. Over 3 million are active writers. Experts say whether real-name registration sites can be accepted and welcomed can only be decided by the bloggers themselves. (OUT)
