There are many people who believe the World Wide Web is uncivilized. Because of this, "high profile figures in high-tech" are trying to come up with rules and guidelines for online debates and discussions. Most of these rules will be affecting the world of blogs. And the article stated, "bloggers consider banning anonymous comments left by visitors to their pages and be able to delete threatening or libelous comments without facing cries of censorship."
I believe this will be very beneficial in the attempt to make the Web civilized. People don't really know what is acceptable online and this will give people a sense of direction. Furthermore, the people who do know how to act online aren't doing so because there are no set rules and I think if they make a set of guidelines people will be more in touch and will follow these rules.
In addition, this will limit the misconduct that goes on on the Web and will hopefully decrease the amount of conversations that could lead into much worse accounts.
