Following a deal struck by the three main political parties in the early hours of Monday morning, the government has committed to creating an independent press regulator, set up by Royal Charter.
Today's guest blogs look at the possibility that the new regulator might affect not only newspapers, but virtually anyone who writes on the internet.
First, Padraig Reidy of Index On Censorship outlines what we know so far about the new regulator - but warns that we should worry more about what we don't know. Further down, Mumsnet Blogger Glosswitch considers whether she, and any other writer who posts publically, will be expected to play by the same rules as professional journalists.
