Privatizing the Suppression of Free Speech
by Gates of Vienna https://www.legal-project.org/804/privatizing-the-suppression-of-free-speech Excerpt: The Christian Science Monitor has posted an interesting article entitled "Free Speech: What if Terry Jones Went to Sweden?" The author, Mike Sacks, compares the right to free speech in the United States with the more limited versions granted in other countries, particularly European ones. It's an interesting article, and it points out several examples both here and in Europe that will be familiar to regular readers of Gates of Vienna. Like most Americans who examine the current assault against civil liberties in Europe, Mr. Sacks cites the First Amendment of the Constitution as an American bulwark against the kind of abuses that citizens of the EU have to endure on a regular basis: Read the complete original version of this item... receive the latest by email: subscribe to the legal project's free mailing list Note: The content of external articles does not necessarily reflect the views of The Legal Project. |
Geert Wilders Lauds Legal Project "Last June, I was acquitted of all charges by an Amsterdam court. The Middle East Forum's Legal Project ... was always there to help, advise and assist ... The importance of the MEF's Legal Project in reclaiming free expression and political discourse ... cannot be overestimated." — Geert Wilders, September 29, 2011 |
