[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4159107, member: 18225"] Not at all, I’m making a distinction between free speech and business. You think business should protect free speech? Ok, I don’t see how that works. It’s not ‘businesses’ responsibility to even get involved, except to run their business. Why are you placing the hosting company into a position where they’re the arbiter of free speech? Maybe I’m dense and don’t get it, but who cares? I have no expectation that I could take out a full-page ad in the NYT saying: ‘OLD MAN JINGLES EATS MONKEY DK’ They wouldn’t sell me the space. Unless they did, in which case, whatever. Guy, the Internet isn’t the Wild West anymore. Legislation hasn’t caught up to this new (30 years old) form of communication (it’s made of tubes, don’t you know), but that doesn’t mean any idiot has carte blanche to post anything anywhere anytime and be completely free of consequences. Or that a business has to deal with it... [/QUOTE]
