These days the greek blogging world is really upset. Antonis Tsipropoulos, the administrator of an RSS aggregating service (blogme.gr) was sued, arrested and jailed for hosting a link to a blog with allegedly offending content. He was jailed for a text he DID NOT write himself!
Any internet user knows that an RSS service collects information. It's first time that an RSS service is sued, for content that cannot control or manage. The administrator of such a service doesn't have the responsibility or necessarily supports the content of other blogs. It's like suing google for the content of its search results!
Let's see the facts: A blog offends (?) X (in fact uses satire and irony to mock a well-known greek person), that blog cannot be sued because it is hosted in the States, so X sues a completely innocent greek aggregation service.
We don't know who the offended actually is. He is referred as a prominent person and he probably is. But let's face the truth: a democratic country that Greece is supposed to be, arrests and jails a blogger! For what? For hosting another blog!
