According to The Skeptic:
The Syrian Ministry of Telecommunications has issued a memo requiring owners of Syrian Web sites to “feature the name of the writer of the article and the person commenting on it in a clear and detailed way.”
hehe ... the burning question is: Will Bahrain follow?
After all, we Arabs follow to the letter the adage: Monkey Sees, Monkey Does!

But remember, Bahrain doesn't copy Syria. Bahrain copies everything Dubai does!
Amira,
Thats not entirely true. The ban was only for Syrian news websites. Actually the Minister was clear saying that the ban does not apply to blogs and forums.
It doesnt make it any better, but still for the record.
