So, some think that MySpace itself is censoring? I've never heard that before, and I agree with you that the article you are addressing seems a little "conspiracy theory" like. However, internet censorship, especially in schools is a very hot topic. Do you think that students should be able to use sites like MySpace in school? Should they be able to discuss hated teachers, etc. without fear of school consequences? What about using MySpace as a communication tool in a classroom? Let me know what you think.

While I think internet censorship is a valid a valuable topic - I'm not so sure about these guys at PrisonPlanet.com. They seem a little over the top to me. I've wasted a lot of time on MySpace and I'm having trouble seeing where the censoring is happening. I know MySpace will break links to competing entities, because I've had to redo my non-MySpace music player more than a few times. Now, I'm not a fan of Rupert Murdock and I enjoy a good opportunity to "stick it to the man," but I don't really see how MySpace is "Murdoch's first step into internet censorship." Unless you're jumping into sci-fi land and there's some sort of secret code in MySpace land, that one day will flip on an hypnotize us all so Murdock can take over the world, like a bad comic book? I haven't seen a whole lot of censoring going on I see God mentioned every where and the F-bomb everywhere sometimes in the same sentence. So, I guess what I'm getting at, is I'd like these guys to give of some concrete examples to the censoring that's happening. Otherwise, it's just another conspiracy theory. Jon-

I speak out as much as possible against the restriction of free speech on the internet as I feel it is the last true mode of communication where people can truly express themselves without (within limitations of speech) worrying about what they are saying and how they say it. Students, especially, fall under this category. They hear from everyone and anyone how they are wrong about even their feelings, let alone their actions, and the internet provides a space for them to vent without harming themselves or others. If there is a restriction on this beautiful mode of communication, it is just another way for a governmental body or other form of structure to gain control over the masses and how they are speaking their mind. Like Jefferson said "People should never fear their governments, governments should fear their people." ~Dan I really enjoyed this post as I myself am a huge proponent of sticking it to the man.
