I wondered what Julian ( or Alistair or anybody interested in this issue really) thinks about the US Supreme Court Citizens United V. FEC decision of Jan 2010 ruling that corporations are entitled to spend unlimited funds in the US elections based on the US Constitution 1st Amendment. Does he think that for-profit corporations are entitled to the same freedom of speech than individuals?

His main argument against freedom of speech was to protect reputations, which is pretty ridiculous. People don’t have a right to reputations.

What’s a reputation based on anyway? Cultural relativity and personal opinion? Mullis might think he has a good reputation but I sure as hell don’t think so.

Does a nazi have a right to a good reputation?

There’s news today from Eastern Europe that Ukraine’s government who’ve increased suppression of journalistic freedom now plan to apply registration laws to bloggers.

This is the country where 4 years ago we’d published our ‘Death Camps for Children’ article about childcare for the disabled which was later vindicated by a charity named Happy Child.

That article provoked a response which has continued into 4 years of defamation on a blogg hosted by Google and a blogger who has a UK barrister to defend his identity. She has made threats by telephone and has removed articles from the web which associate her. She forgot about Google cache however.
