Free speech to me!
Well, I have discussed the ban of YouTube in Turkey here. And I recommended you to check Information Week’s Weblog for further comments. Well, IW journal Mitch, happened to answered my comments and he said that:
“Sorry, Turk(another poster on the issue) and Sinan, but you're falling into the logical argument that censors everywhere use today. Free speech includes the right to insult other people. Period. Free speech with regulations isn't free, it's regulated speech.”
Of course, I intended to reply it with what I think of free speech. I don’t know how but the posts that I send, happen to be not seen on the page. Well, perhaps they blocked my IP addresses.
Well, darling... Free speech when it comes to me… So you shut up!
Note: My thoughts about free speech is as the following. Well, I figured out to copy it first when third time I tried to send it.
Mitch,
I strongly recommend you to recheck the sources of your knowledge about the freedom of speech. I strongly agree that everyone can have any idea about anything and he has the rights to express it by using any medium. But when it comes to the publicity, there are some bindings that he or she should care. And these are not for the censorship but for preserving the existence and protection of both the speecher and the community (s)he addresses to.
If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech, almost every part of the world, the speeches that ignite war propaganda, violence and HATE SPEECH are condemned and prohibition of them does not considered as violation of freedom of speech.
