Vol. III, No. 5 May 1997 |
I don't think Americans care very much about freedom of speech. The First Amendment is really based on dreaming and forgetting. Let's not forget that anonymity is as socially useful online as it is offline. Internet freedom of speech is threatened not just by government but by bullies with deep pockets who threaten ISP's. (Here are my sources.)
