Tallahassee Free-Net
Intellectual Freedom and Censorship of the Internet
On this page, Tallahassee Free-Net presents information on the issues of intellectual freedom, free speech, and censorhip of the Internet. With the signing into law of the "Telecommunications Act of 1996" which includes the "Communications Decency Act of 1996", the issue of Internet intellectual freedom vs. censorship is being discussed all over the world. Tallahassee Free-Net is not presenting its own views in this page, but encourages its users and the Internet community to investigate these very important issues.
We request that you suggest additional links to be placed on this page, including sites that are for or against enforcement of the new telecommunications and decency acts. Mail your comments and suggestions to: Michael Rouse, Library Freenet Director.
