CLA's policy on freedom of speech CLA believes freedom of speech is fundamental in a democratic society, which depends on free exchange of ideas and opinions and being able to communicate philosophies in an open and frank way. People must be free, in any medium, to engage in debate and challenge perceptions. CLA accepts that the right to free speech is not absolute, that it comes with responsibility attached, and that there may be a need to protect others from harm.

I think you will find that most of our reforms to freedom of speech - esp the filter - are more based on a Chinese model. At least publicly, the US has raised a lot of concerns about the filter here and upcoming government takeover of print media. We are in BIG trouble and there's not much we can do about it.
