Internet Censorship
689 Words - 3 Pages.... are many reasons for the Internet not to be censored. First, it truly is unconstitutional. The First Amendment of the Constitution clearly says, "Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…". As far as I'm concerned, this is abridging freedom of speech and press. Although pornography and obscenity are technically not protected by the First Amendment, it becomes a question of, how far will the government go?

the stereo and bingo you have a new tape. You also just broke the law.
