I think 五叔 you can help CS apply for license since you most active reporter here.
Is it an issue of collecting more license fees or is it an issue of needing to control what these websites report as "news" to >50,000 people each?

IMO its control.. 10 x 50k is only half a mil
but if thats the case.. its quite absurd.. MDA never heard of citizen journalism? crowdsourcing? twitter? FB?
Maybe we want to have a Small Firewall now? Coz London Eye copycat not viable alr :bsmilie:

If someone were to follow the infamous adult forum method, hosting it overseas, they can attempt to clamp it till cow come home.
Well, to give another perspective, you have people accusing photojournalists of faking photographs of cyclists, you have people accusing MDA of rejecting funding for Ilo Ilo... And the best part is, these news sites don't filter through and do due diligence. They just happily copy and paste everything and pass it off as "reporting" and claim to present an "alternative view of Singapore".
I can see the reasons for the unhappiness, but where does the buck stop for such undesirable occurences? I'm sure no one here supports the spreading of mistruths. It just makes it worse when the watchers just absolve themselves of all guilt, in some cases, preening about forcing organizations to clarify.
