Non per niente nel commento richiestomi da Anna per il suo blog , partivo dal pezzo del NYT rilevando la distanza siderale...e la necessità di guardare oltre frontiera. Per altro, potrei portarti attrettante lamentele di copyright holders italiani che non hanno avuto risposta alcuna alla richiesta di take down da parte di siti U.S.A. Forse un problema di frontiere c'e'. C. -----Original Message----- From: "De Biase Luca" <luca.debiase@ilsole24ore.com> To: "J.C.

Free Speech and the Internet
As the United Nations has said, access to the Internet is a human right. A report <http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/17session/A.HRC.17 .27_en.pdf> by the U.N.'s special rapporteur presented last month to the Human Rights Council in Geneva warns that this right is being threatened by governments around the world - democracies included.
The main concern is about oppressive regimes trying to squash political dissent - like China, which jails bloggers, blocks Web sites and filters the Internet to eradicate words, including "democracy," from the conversation.
The report also warned against overzealous attempts by democratic states to control or censor online communications. Stopping infringement of intellectual property or the distribution of child pornography is legitimate. But governments must protect citizens' rights to speak freely - anonymously when necessary.
