Web Article Reaction Piece: Internet Liability in the Face of Corporate Dishonor

In other forms of media the distribution companies are savvy enough to include legal disclaimers before the exhibition of any material whether objectionable, or benign in content as a smart form of C.Y.A. (cover your ass). It is the same type of issue. In Dvd’s, lets say Paramount home video distributes, there are commentary features and content derived material that if one chose to associate Paramount with questionable opinions or attitudes could reflect poorly on the overall image of the company. Mass Media is Mass Media, blogs should be no different. They are both disseminations of information. Service providers are not under a HIPPO act to protect the privacy of their subscribers so essentially they can be forced by a judge in a court of law to hand over their records. Information on Blogs is freedom of speech, and should be protected under our first amendment rights. All information can be relevant there is no one way of expressing or looking at something. It is up to the reader as a decoder of truth to be a credible witness to the reality of a Blog’s statement. Absolutely nothing on the internet except for morally sick abominations of humanities worst projections, like child porn and the like should ever be censored or compromised, for context whether objectionable or explicit. There is a freedom that exists within the matrix, it is the peoples last truly public broadcast forum.
