What is the biggest issue facing blogging, citizenship and the future of media?

Perhaps the biggest issue facing blogging today I believe would be legal issues, many of the laws are not kept up to date in this new cyber world and many ethic issues have come across blogging. Posting confidential information such as personal addresses, credit ratings or any information not meant to be disclosed in to the public has become notable topics. Citizenship as well in the world wide web faces new issues such as new technologies allowing a more discrete and efficient surveillance systems such rights and freedoms of online citizens could be compromised with laws such as patriot act. The future of media could very well converge fully to the internet with traditional media mediums such as television, radio or newspapers fully adapting to receive additional functions synchronizing with the world wide web.
