Media Issues Net Free Speech "Poll"?

Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic

Jul 7, 2000

Now I am going to, hopefully, with approval, be putting my money where my mouth is and find out how all you Suite101 CE editors out there feel about Internet Free Speech.

Should it be regulated somehow? Any how?

Should sites that disagree with the powers-that-be, the politically incorrect sites, be stamped out?

Should so-called "hate sites" (according to "http://www.militia-watchdog.org", "http://www.splc.org", "http://www.hate-watch.org" for instance) be allowed on the Internet?

Should porn sites, all close-to-a-million of them, be forced to close shop?

Should all religions, even the cults and the unpopular ones including the non-501.c3's (the ones that don't have tax-exempt status), be allowed to have web space?

Should four-letter-words be allowed on any web site or should they be censored?

Should offensive words (other than hate speech) be allowed, or should they be censored?

Should a "poll" or an event where all you editors out there can write articles answering these questions be allowed?

Is an event like this valid or important?

I hope Suite101.com thinks so, and I hope beginning Monday, July 10, 2000, this event will begin and you all participate!
