 Thank you, Dave, for your contribution. I totally believe in Free Speech, but that is no justification to wilfully abuse or liable someone online.
At the moment it's a bit of a grey area, isn't it? But if new laws are brought in to cover the Internet, where will it end? Will our Forums and Chat Rooms be 'policed' by Tony Blairs minions under the excuse of 'Political Correctness' whilst actually what 'they' will really be doing is spying on us and eroding more of our freedoms? Where will it end? This is not an option, in my opinion. Forums and Chat Rooms are the last bastillons of free speech, and long may they continue to be so. |
