A propsed law in Israel demands that all ISP's will block "sex, violence and gambling" content. Internet users who will want to get access to those sites will have to register and a biometric device will check that they are who thet claim to be.

Sounds absurd? It is, but the law is still in the making.

The Israeli blogosphere is on fire and we want the help of International bloggers to speak up and raise the issue.
