This may be old news but I've just stumbled across it........................................



Authors of emails containing racist material are facing criminal charges in Europe.



"This proposal could potentially outlaw free speech," said Malcolm Hutty, general director for Campaign Against Censorship on the Internet in Britain, or CACIB. "That would be a great infringement of civil rights."



It raises a few questions...


1. When do we draw the line on being told what we can and can't email....

2. What is considered racist? If someone sends a few Irish (sorry Ennis) jokes to a friend is that considered racist material?


3. How will it be policed?




Anyway, you can read the full story here.........
