The only activities the GA has to date protected by the implimentation of
censorship is ideas - and not much more.

The right to free speech is one which Chomsky correctly identified.  We
support the right to free speech not because we agree with what is being
said but because it is the right thing to do.

As long as IBM continues to pull the strings there shall be no freedom of
speech here.
