Amnesty spreads censored information

Postby El Greco on Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:42 am

Have a look at this site by Amnesty.
http://irrepressible.info/
I guess their standpoint is quite clear: Freedom of speech shouldn't be restricted in any way.
And they have this new campaign that gives webmasters the possibility to symbolical spread censored information by integrating them on their website via javascript.
Sounds pretty interessting worth a look.
I have my own opinion, please don't irritate me with facts.

Cool idea. Im sure some people will make use of it.

On a side note, while searching google the other day I got a google message saying that it could not show me all the results becouse of legal reasons. Google then gave me a link to an external site which compared my search results from google.co.uk with google.com so I could see the missing result and actually lick on the link there to visit the link.

So while google blocked the page for legal reasons, google actually helped me to get to the information anyway Wink

I wouldn't have been interested in the link if it had just shown up, so the censorship was counter productive...

woah !

nice stuff...
i think the point was not the freedom of speech, but something about truth.
Without thruth no man can proclaim himself free...
So "Freedom" of speech seems to be a consequence.

Anyway i put ur link in my bookmarks. : )
tnx a lot for this info !
