Sir what do you mean by vigilante bloggers?

Feeling conscious being called sir on plurk

Aw, I am sorry. This is me being too polite to popular people on the net...

So let me rephrase that.. "What do you mean by vigilante bloggers brad"

a Vigilante blogger is someone who exposes crime and corruption either anonymously or officially in their blog

my karma score disagrees with your assessment of my "popularity"

its not all about karma brad... its with the people you know and the network you have...

how about the dona victorina blog?

hmmm... an investigative journalist slash blogger

I haven't encounteredsuch blogger, and now that you've mentioned it it makes me want to find one Filipino vigilante

Well, the cyber law in the Philippines has not been perfected yet so I guess a the existence of an RP vigilante blogger is possible

Also, even with the cyber law you can always get a buddy in, say dubai to offshore it for you.

hmm, a bit risky form of expressing and blogging but you have to blog with great precision and factuality

or else people will just think that you (example as a vigilante blogger) is bitter or sour graping over something...

Dementia, that's a really good blog, thanks for referring it.

or is just ruining one's reputation without any proof. There is a lot of dangers and responsibilities on a vigilante blogger's shoulder

But its not really vigilante so much as cutting criticism about matters of public record

Chis, a vigilante isn't someone who criticizes matters already exposed to the public

A vigilante reveals the hidden criminal or corrupt element and names the culprits

Like naming political operatives who get paid to shave votes

the dona victorina revealed names of oppressors during martial law

if that was previously unknown, then yes that is vigilanteism

yeah. i hope she exposes current criminals

i once saw a blog exposing thieving maids. i don't think that counts though

I have also seen it! what a great blog!

I already bookmarked it specially the Wowowee post. I hate that show!

Interesting point and question.

i think pinoys don't believe anonymous bloggers ?

they had no problem with Chika time...

the philippines lately has had one of the worst records when it comes to anti-govt journalists being killed or disappearing.

thats why online vigilantism makes so much sense

All of the venom with much less risk

believe me if the government were sophisticated to track down a careful online leak the country would be alot better off than we are now
