Interesting REASON piece on the state of Internet Censorship. I agree. So what's your take? I find myself torn by these kinds of articles. There are the policy issues and there are the tech issues. On the one hand, a policy issue, I tend to be something of a free speech absolutist; on the other hand, there are and should be limits. My classic case was the website which listed the names of abortion providers and encouraged killing them. On the tech issues, it strikes me as somewhere between terribly difficult and impossible to bloc access to these sites for the diligent.
