Note also what’s transpiring in Vancouver. The forces of censorship are arguing in the Steyn/Maclean’s tribunal that Steyn’s article was damaging to Muslims because of comments that were made on blogs in the US and Belgium. The internet is providing them with tools to attack print communication.

Similarly, the British suit against Rachel Eherenfeld was based on the claim that her book, which was not distributed in the UK, could be mail ordered in the UK over the internet.

Not only do we need to fight for freedom of speech on the internet, we have to be vigilant that the forces of censorship don’t use the internet as a tool.
