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. + # References and bibliography |
