The internet is free


There is no difference between gossip in the pub and Twitter on the internet.

Read that again, and again.

Newspapers have editors who can chose what to publish, Twitter does not. It is just a way of delivering globally. ISPs also are just relays of public comments, not editors, and cannot be expected in any way to filter deliveries. (Just the same as they cannot be used to police rights issues).

Remember , "Don't blame the messanger".

All the hot air by MPs, parliament, press, judges is a stupidity and only goes to show they don't understand freedom. Time to completely redesign our outdated privacy and libel laws. If I say something that materially damages you, then sue me, otherwise shut up. You probably deserve what is being said about you.

The internet is free is a starting point.
