Re: Amy's free speech blog

In response to Amy’s piece on freedom of speech, I agree with her points and believe they were thought out very well. As Amy indirectly suggests, people in countries with the right of free speech do not quite give that right the appreciation it deserves. For instance, in some foreign countries people cannot even google certain words because the government literally makes those topics disappear and not even appear when typed into google. This is unfair to those people being subjected to this censorship. People should have the right to learn about anything they want. I understand the motives behind blocking some websites but think that it is corrupt in nature. I just cannot imagine a life where I was told what I could learn about and also limiting the information I was allowed to know. In all, it seems that these limitations do nothing but hinder the capabilities of individuals in society. For our society to grow and become stronger, we must be allowed to learn.
