John Gilmore on American free speech
Free Speech
5/2/2000; 10:55:48 PM Feb. 22, 2000: "The rest of the world does NOT want American ideas of free speech shoved down their throats." The converse is true, too; America does not want the rest of the world's idea of free speech stuffed down our throats.

The problem is that in a globally integrated environment, there aren't room for a couple thousand rulesets like we have now; if there's room for two, it will come as a surprise to many people. This may come down to a contest on who can 'stuff' harder, the US, Europe, China, who knows?
