I think I expressed it clearly. I don't like this legislation. I'm saying that I do understand the underlying tension though, it is real, and hard to legislate, and what can you do. In your first paragraph, you seem to essentially criticize this piece of legislation. I'm not defending it.

I do however reject the notion that it's either absolute freedom of speech or a totalitarian censorship state. Freedom of speech has always had well defined boundaries, well before the Internet - and yes, even in America, just these boundaries are somewhere different to eg. Europe.
