Democratic Censorship?

The first of today's mini lectures was about cyber democracy. It's amazing how democratic governments can propose such censorship. The Internet is a source that holds information indefinitely. People have been prosecuted for content that still exists on line. As John Gilmore said "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it". Whether or not you have democracy such as the ancient Greeks, one man one equal vote, or whatever Australia's system is where you vote is worth more or less depending on where you live; whether or not you have a constitutional right to free speech such as America or not; whether or not it's truly representative is all irrelevant. When the basic nature of the internment works against censorship the argument should be more towards education and informed decisions.
