| schestowitz | > tburgi: Western governments lay claim to moral authority in part from having legal guarantees for a free press. | Dec 09 00:10 |
| schestowitz | > Threats of legal sanction against Wikileaks and yourself seem to weaken this claim. | Dec 09 00:10 |
| schestowitz | > (What press needs to be protected except that which is unpopular to the State? If being state-sanctioned is the test for being a media organization, and therefore able to claim rights to press freedom, the situation appears to be the same in authoritarian regimes and the west.) | Dec 09 00:10 |

| schestowitz | > The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be "free" because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments. Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like badgers and birds, free. In states like China, there is pervasive censorship, | Dec 09 00:10 |
| schestowitz | because speech still has power and power is scared of it. We should always look at censorship as an economic signal that reveals the potential power of speech in that jurisdiction. The attacks against us by the US point to a great hope, speech powerful enough to break the fiscal blockade. | Dec 09 00:10 |
