A blog post I found on slashdot about internet freedom. It says that internet freedom supersedes national laws.

P1: The internet is one of the last places where free speech really exists

P2: Free speach is important to human rights

P3: If internet companies like Microsoft and google gave into certain national laws this would damage free speech

P4: Free speech is more important than law.

C: Internet companies should not be required to comply with national censorship laws.

Deductive,Valid, Sound

This seems really great that some of the companies are doing this, but I wonder if this will have any real impact, since in all likely hood nations like China and North Korea will simply set up a super powered sonicwall, and stop everyone but the best hackers in the nation from actually getting any info. Of course on the plus side, the world will have more than enough freedom-seeking hackers in it.
