There's a new tech blog in cybertown -- the Technology Liberation Front, created by Adam Thierer of Cato, who will be abetted by Braden Cox (Competitive Enterprise Institute), Sonia Arrison (Pacific Research Institute), Jim Harper (Cato), Wayne Bough (Citizens for a Sound Economy), James Gattuso (Heritage), and others.

Its mission statement is here. Excerpt:

"Do you remember when politicians would run around saying government should keep its "Hands off the Net." It was nice rhetoric while it lasted but, ultimately, it was a hollow promise. Today the government has its hands all over the Internet. It's difficult to name an area where lawmakers and regulators are not currently promulgating or considering rules and regulations for the high-technology and communications sectors.

"This is why this site is needed. We aim to report on, and hopefully help to reverse, this dangerous trend of over-regulation of the Internet, communications, media and high-technology in general. We will not hide our love of liberty on this site and we will take every opportunity to castigate those who call for expanding the reach of government into these fields."
