3. Freedom of speech

This week, we are talking about freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech takes on important new meaning in cyberspace. While it is possible for repressive regimes to control print and broadcast media, it is much more difficult to control online publication. This is especially true when the source of the information is outside the jurisdiction of those endeavoring to control speech.

We will be looking at HAVING freedom of speech and NOT having freedom of speech.
