How can blogging be restricted or controlled by the instructor if there is bad behavior present?

Do the students see value in both?

Why can't an instructor post instructin on YouTube if it is valid information from a reputable instructor (which should be all instructors- wishful thinking.) (?)

We alway ask students to think about what they post before they post and to be careful of their audience, but at times we get the "fere speech should not be restricted" response.

I have found that even in an online learning environment students will blame their ability to use or access technological resources as the core of their failures or struggles in a course.

Some students always include information that is superfluous to the assignment in order to appear as though they are going above and beyond so-to-speak when they are in fact performing data dump. Does anyone believe that this is to mask their own ability to succintly or in some cases correctly answer assignments
