Comment Of The Day

Jeff Jarvis posted a comment on my blog yesterday and reblogged it.

You can see the entire debate here.

I totally agree with Jeff when he says:

“I believe the Internet should be a force for political freedom, not
repression. People have the right to seek and receive information and
to express their peaceful beliefs online without fear or interference.
I call on governments to stop the unwarranted restriction of freedom of
expression on the Internet – and on companies to stop helping them do
it.”

I am sure Terry Semel feels the same way too Jeff.

The question, though, is whether playing by the rules of a goverment like China who censors its people does more harm than good.

I am still with Terry Semel on this one. Yahoo! leaving China is worse than staying and living with censorship.
