+The nature of free speech in our current society is questionable, yet
+the internet paves its own path in this realm. To the internet, the
+traditional considerations of freedom of speech may not exist.
+Firstly, the question of place and time is less significant in
+relation to the internet. Whilst a speech in person creates noise and,
+if it gathers a crowd, causes genuine disruption to people who may
+inhabit the area. Furthermore, such a gathering in the night may
+disrupt people who are trying to sleep and thereby be considered a
+public nuisance. On the internet, however, there are no such
+considerations. Although actions online can spur in person events,
+any published material on the internet cannot immediately cause
+disruption through its time or place. As a non-physical event, its
+existence cannot block a road or wake people in the night, unless
+individuals chose to do so in person. Furthermore, whilst a person
+talking in the street can undoubtedly [indubitably] be heard by any
+bystander, in general, on the internet any material being read,
+watched, or listened to is through the choice of the reader, viewer,
+or listener. The speech that everyone must hear on the high street, is
+heard only by those who wish to when it is published on some website.
