Washington Post op-ed on Expanded Censorship Threat

by Adam Thierer on June 7, 2005

I had an editorial that ran in today’s Washington Post entitled “New Worlds to Censor.” In this editorial, I discuss the threat of expanded media censorship and point out why traditional regulatory rationales are no longer applicable in our new media environment. This editorial builds on the First Amendment studies that we have been publishing at PFF in recent months, which can be found here, here, and here.
