not sure of any exact laws but as long as you are not lying about something or plagiarizing you should be fine, also if you are posting adult stuff i think you have to have a pass word thing set up to make sure kids are not getting on to it

You're correct.  We accept free speech unless it offends us.  Take for instance the Michael Richards thing. Now the Laugh Factory is putting a ban on the word n*gger.  What happened to free speech?  Then again, that's a private business and he can run it the way he wants.   It's an interesting world, the same people that cry "free speech" are the same that would cry "censor" if the speech is not favorable to them.

"A Modest Proposal" is a satirical story aimed at England's treatment of the Irish. It does not actually advocate eating children. No material should be banned from a library. Censorship is never the answer. You should try to learn more about what the material is actually saying before jumping on the censorship wagon.

Should there be a watchdog on the web to filter out all the stuff that someone might want to be illegal?  Who gets to choose what that stuff is?\n\nYour definition of bad stuff is "cuss words and nuded people."  Mine might be racist words, or threats to individuals or groups.\n\nThere are filters for parents to use to stop this kind of information from reaching their children.  An one of any age can use them.  \n\nShould they be illegal - no.  We don't need more watchguards and big brother looking over everything we do.

banning a website: restricting access to the website via search engines or location of website\nshutting down a website: withdrawal of domain name and/or resource links so no-one can access it anymore\n\n\nboth actions are extremely difficult to perform, since there are no laws (yet??) to enforce either action. see 'sources' below for news about possible laws in the future\n\n\nfor now, complaints to the host site/provider can be effective - as long as there are valid reasons for the 'ban', as well as enough user support behind the complaints

Usually, there is no law (in any country that I know of) regulating what is posted on a blog.  Especially if it is a comment by an annonymous user.

I support the right to publish the toons.  But with free speech you need to have respect and restraint.  You should publish something just because you can.  So if the material is disrespectful, or offensive, you need to be sure that's what you want to do...in this case it feels like they just published them to see if they could get a rise out of people. That's wrong.

It is probably against the law to view these website and you could be in serious trouble. My advice is too either forget about the possiblity of seeing sites that are banned or go work in another country that allows you to read all of the news and not just part of it.

Recent reports indicate as few as five companies exert almost total control, at the government's commands since 1991, of the news media outlets combining print, TV, and radio. The government guided censorship is attended by propaganda and misinformation, which in toto, some say, grossly insult, dis-serve, and injure the Jeffersonian democray of a free, educated, and informed citizenry which should be trusted to decide justly the course of the ship of state. In opposition, warmongering profiteers and political cronies have pirated the ship of state via tactics of deception and fear and steer it toward the oilfields. Luckily, some fearless lookouts have climbed the crowsnest- the higher moral ground of the less constrained Internet, and they show us that the truth is out there, and it spells corruption and possibly treason as some of the reasons we are under-informed about ongoing genocide, atrocities, and other sources of diminishment to the 'establishment'- they fear truth so much- ask Rumsfeld- and loss of their obscene criminal profits- that they would deny anything- truth to us, life itself to others- rather than lose. What is really going on is world-wide cultural revolution, nothing less, but you cannot readily discover this without somewhat agressive research. The more we learn, the more we realize how little we really know.

Bondage.com has a lot of info in their forum sections..  some filtering is needed as in any forum, but for the most part, the community is well monitored and there are moderators who shutdown inappropriuate discussions.  Safe, sane and consensual are the main ideas!!\n\nMany good books are sold by Blowfish (www.blowfish.com)

Had a book called 'breaking the rules', haven't got it now. Look for it on line, a poem or two might be published on line.

All race-hate, political correctness, anti-blasphemy and similar regressive and primitive  laws should be abolished or ignored:  "I care not for what they say, but I will lay down my life in defence of their right to say it" (Dickens 'A tale of two cities') People must be free to say what they think: no one can be made to listen to or agree with them and I will not be told by a bunch of politicians, religious crackpots, 'do gooders' or any other self- interest group or cardboard 'little Hitler' what I should think!\nCensorship of any description is nothing more than an attempt by one group of biggots to forcibly foist their jaundiced views on the rest of us. Remember 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' when the publishers were hauled before the courts because 'they' claimed that it would 'deprave and corrupt' - but failed to produce a single example of one such?  But what about those who had read it in order to object to it's content - surely they must have been 'depraved and corrupted' themselves in order to recognise the symptons - isn't there a parallel here somewhere?

The only way to stop any kind of writing is to not buy it.  To do otherwise is censorship and a violation of free speech.  If enough people feel as you do, the marketplace will resolve the problem, if it really is a problem.

If you are interested in being banned from the library, try whatever you want, otherwise search out an internet cafe.  The blocks are on library computers for a reason.  AND THEY AREN'T YOUR COMPUTERS!

There aren't really any laws on the internet.  Even if it is copyrighted content, the person streaming the media is the one at fault, not the person watching it.\n\nYou're fine.

Why HAVE news if you can't get information that may cover crimes, wars, acts of sabotage, or accidents? \n\nWhat about entertainment?  What is the acceptable level of violence there ? \n\nHow can a citizen make an informed decision as to what a government is doing or not doing? We alread have community standards in broadcasting.\n\nAnother question is who is making the decisions?  also what is being catagorized as violence?  Are we censoring out ALL violence or certain kinds? and why? \n\nWe already live in a violent society, what would this censorship protect us from?  \nWhat is the benefit from censorship?
