In this chapter we talked about free speech and what that means. Personally I think the fact that we are able to speak our mind and live in a country where we can do that is great. Yet I do believe that when it comes to some situations what is able to be put on the internet should be regulated. For example, people should not be able to post how to be anorexic, or how to make drugs should not be allowed on the internet. I understand that people have freedom of speech and and I think that is a great thing but if someone's right to say what they want can hurt another person then what they are allowed to say should be regulated.
Another thing that I think should be regulated that we discussed in class, is that if what someone says is going to damage a person's career like in the "Red Scare". I don't think that it is right for a person to be able to destroy some one else's career. And like in the federal case where the journalist leaked the name of the agent I do believe that she should get in trouble for destroying that person's career.
Something that I agree with that we talked about in class is Net Neutrality. I don't think that it is fair what so ever that some sites would load faster because of the amount of money that the creator of the site has. There are so many original things that we would never see because the sites would never load. Like our blogs, it would take a long time for our sites to load because, well, we don't have any money to put into our sites. So much would be lost if this were to pass and would take so much away from the internet.
