Stuff about freedom of speech on the Internet

THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

• Electronic Frontier Foundation
  • The current attempt to legislate the electronic dissemination of information is SERIOUS. I honor our First Amendment. The EFF has all the latest updates on what is going on. Restricting the Net towards an undefinable "decency". has broad and unpleasant implications the politicos are ignoring. There's a LOT of misinformation out there -- there are ETHICAL alternatives to protect children without this.
  • If you are concerned and would like further info, try Voters Telecomm Watch. Or Feminists for Free Expression. Or the Citizen's Internet Empowerment Coalition, whose class action suit I've unrepentantly joined.
  • My own rant on the topic may appear someday. Or not, as all the above seem to say it pretty well. Meanwhile, the CDA gives whole new lowered dimensions to the term "politically correct". I support Family Values -- the right of individual families to decide themselves what books, TV, publications, and electronic information to read, watch, access, and think about, without the assistance of "control freaks" deciding these things FOR them.

Note of course that the next step is to uphold the decision when the other side takes it to the Supreme Court. The fight isn't over yet.
