But isn’t that the whole attraction with blogs and forums, the ability to chat freely and express our feelings? If it were suddenly restricted it would lose its appeal.
I think the freedom that people perceive they have and speak with online is one of the greatest assets of our generation. We no longer are forced to believe what the papers and TV want us to believe. The www has the ability to mobilise us behind the truth and make us more aware when we are being lied to by our governments.
This is a good thing. Just because in this day and age, anyone can sue anyone for anything, doesn’t mean we should walk with our hands tied behind our backs and our heads bowed.
Yes, if you say something controversial it is a risk. But if it is grounded in truth then it’s a worthwhile risk.
Keep speaking out, I say!
