You have full control over what you gonna to use for blogging. for eg. if you use wordpress.com blog, you will not have all the features that wordpress.org software has. you can install lots of publicly available modules / extensions and move to advanced blogging. the difference between wordpress.org and wordpress.com is that wordpress.com is hosted one where you cannot go for customisation. but if you are using wordpress.org software installed, you can install any extensions / modules according to your requirements. we can add our own spam control extensions.
