Views on Freedom of speech on the internet

Here's my humble opinion on the whole issue regarding freedom of speech on the internet. I'm all for the 1st ammendment. And if I can say what ever I want, then anyone else should be able to as well, regardless of what they say. If someone wants to make a website that promotes hate against jews or blacks then let them. It's the people that look at the site and view the content's decision on whether to follow it or not. If a site seems suspicious and seems to be planning terrorist activity, then it should be MONITORED but not taken down. Monitoring a site is perfectly ok, or even having a mole inside the site acting as a member would be fine, just as long as they give the site a chance. Thats my opinion on the whole issue. Let them do it. If they say anything suspcious then monitor the site. Only when it is proven that they will act should the organization and site be shut down.
