Freedom Of Speech

Is Free Speech a negative or positive right? Why is it considered important in general? What are some examples of speech not permitted?

Are these standards shared by everyone?

What are some serious results? How to apply to the online content?

Standards? Enforcement?

Group Project

Create timelines for the chapters covered to date. How accurate a depiction/prediction of technology

and its social implications is your film? Compared to older films would you say yours is an

improved depiction? Would you say newer films are better? Cite references from news, journals, etc. (any primary

source will do) to support your point. Primary sources should include those published around the

time your film was released.

In-Class Exercise I You are the head of the computer center at a

public university. A state legislator goes to the university president to complain that sexually explicit words and pictures are being sent through the school’s computers and network, by email, Web, newsgroups, chat, and Webcams.

In-Class Exercise I

Divide into groups. Each group contains:

1 university librarian 1 legislator 1 researcher 1 computer expert 1 college student

The group must decide: What materials should be

allowed and what banned? What activities should be

allowed and banned? How will you enforce this? Who will decide?

Further Thought

What if the material concerned: Violence Hacking Prejudice / discrimination / hate

Canada and some schools have rules against “hate speech”.

Must we accept restrictions on some freedoms to preserve others? Other people or other freedoms?
