I think I should point out here that "free speech" is a concept that
isn't universal and so applying ideology of one culture on a global
network probably isn't valid.
I want to start a movement for "free listening" where I as an
individual get to choose not to hear things from people claiming to
have "free speech" because there seems to be a direct relationship between
those people claiming to have it and my not wanting to hear it.
