Freedom Of SpeechThis page is a collection of links to sites which examine
issues such as Freedom of Speech, Censorship, Electronic Documents Policy for Web use, and
publishing on the Web.
It has been created by a group of individuals within UNSW with an interest in creating a
responsible electronics documents policy.
The issues here have been argued and refined in public forums over a long period, and therefore
these links represent a wide range of opinions from which to explore options, or through which to
define electronics documents policy.
The page is organised into the following sections:
