Huffington Post reports that The Las Vegas Review Journal “says it has been served a federal grand jury subpoena seeking information about readers who posted comments on the paper’s web site.”
Some of the comments allegedly indicated violence and prosecutors wanted the names and email identities of comment posters so that it could protect jury members in a tax fraud case. Huffington reports that the newspaper said that anonymous speech is “a fundamental and historic part of this country,” but that it would consider cooperating if specific crimes or real threats were identified.
Many blogs, newspapers and forums allow for commenting. This case should be watched carefully to determine what, if any, internet regulation will affect the monitoring of comments. My personal take is to delete any apparent threatening comments immediately. However, on a busy website, this could be a challenge.

I completely accede with your thoughts. Blogging is also a kind of social media where we can share ideas through our comments. It will be better if all blogs are made moderated to forestall such risks at the earliest.
I agree with you. It would be pretty hard to delete comments for blogs with a lot of readers. Moderating will also take a lot of time, since the blogger would have to approve the comments one by one, which can get a bit tedious.
