Y2K Diary [ 13.04.00 ] 104. Free Speech Online Opposing Internet Censorship! The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) and other civil liberties groups ask that a blue ribbon be displayed to show support for the essential human right of free speech, a fundamental building block of free society, affirmed by the U.S. Bill of Rights in 1791, and by the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Nevertheless, legislators and regulators in the US and around the world are intent on telling you what you and your children may read. "Please help us teach   government that such a    decision belongs in     your hands, and those     of every other Internet    user and parent."   The Blue Ribbon will be a way to raise awareness of online censorship and freedom issues, from locally to globally.
