Topical Tuesday #1 Web Censorship
Topic : Freedom of Information :: Web Censorship
Our very first topic of discussion is away, and it is one that sprang to mind when I read today’s press. The conservative party in the UK is proposing that there should be greater controls placed on web content. Is this a good thing? or do you think it is the first step to policing and censoring the exchange of information?
