Cyber Law – Britain's Latest Internet Laws – How Do You Stand?

commercial construction Heavy fines and loss of internet connection are just two ways you could be penalised if anyone on your computer or network is found to be downloading files that breach copyright regulations. American readers contacted me outraged at what they see as the government limiting our freedom in the UK, following an article on the popular technology website Boingboing about the recent Digital Economy Bill.

juegos There have been many who have argued that they have free speech in this nation so that it is okay to say whatever they want and when they want. True, we have that in America and a lot of times, in the heat of the moment, people tend to say things that they normally would not say or regret saying. People verbally fight and lash out at one another when angry as that is normal. However, what about when something is posted online and these things are open to everyone around the world? Vicious lies about others that can be read by friends, family and even strangers?

commercial property This is not like a verbal argument where something is said and forgotten. When something is posted online, it is there to stay unless someone removes the post. Children think that by posting these things, nobody will come across them except for their friends and those they know. They never think of the long term affects and the dangers in what this can do to another person. So, is free speech worth it?

I hear so many people say that because of free speech they can say what they want. Not just children but adults as well. I believe in free speech and yes, we all have a right to it. However, when it comes to slander, verbally hurting someone or posting something nasty online then yes, there needs to be consequences. We need to stop and think before saying things as we do not want it to affect others out there. It is important for adults to know this and for them to teach it to their children. We need to be protecting children from these kinds of things and not enabling the problem.

Thank you Missouri for staying on top of this problem. It would be a much better world if we all did watch our words and stopped verbally trying to hurt others. Maybe one day that dream will become a reality. Having laws sure does help You can be published without charge. You can to republish this article in your website or blog.
