 -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez defended plans for a law that would
 impose broadcast-type regulations on the Internet, saying Sunday that 
his government should protect citizens against online crimes.

Chavez&#39;s congressional allies are considering extending the &quot;Social 
Responsibility Law&quot; for broadcast media to the Internet, banning 
messages that &quot;disrespect public authorities,&quot; &quot;incite or promote 
hatred&quot; or crimes, or are aimed at creating &quot;anxiety&quot; in the population. <br></p><p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/19/AR2010121902461.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/19/AR2010121902461.html</a><br>
