No dirty websites are tolerated

- Many countries in the world are proud of freedom of speech, human rights but websites which offend individuals and organizations are not accepted in these nations.



Indeed, no countries in the world accept the behaviors of taking advantage of freedom speech to break the laws or moral standards existing in their societies.

In the middle of July 2012, Advisory Council on legislative issues of King of Saudi Arabia has prepared a written Law to fight against people who use blogs, Twitter and Facebook to offend Muslim and Muslim law system. This law provides Pubic Prosecutors with the authority to punish individuals who violate it.

It is also prohibited to use means of communication for bad purpose even in Western countries, such as United Kingdom.

For example, at the beginning of May, John Graham Kerlen, a political blogger, was sentenced to 6 months in prison because of spreading “offensive information” against a local official in Bexley, London.

According to Section 127, British Communications Act 2003, a person will be regarded as guilty if he post and send offensive contents on the internet or if he spreads untrue contents “to unnecessarily harass or irritate other people”.

Local Government in Bexley said that they supported Freedom of speech but they also confirmed that Kerlen had exceeded the limit of behavior that is acceptable in the framework of freedom.

On Clear Lake Shores city, Texas State, USA, a blogger named Allan Batchelor has been caught on March, 2012 for impersonation on the Internet.

Allan Batchelor posted the email address of a woman whose husband was a candidate running the election to City Council on his blog and invited others to send spams and computer virus to the above email address.

According to Section 33.07 in Criminal Law of Texas, “a person violates the law if he uses other person’s name or status without permission in order to harm, cheat on or threaten anyone”.

Obviously, in any society, freedom of speech and freedom of news are not synonymous with distorting the facts or offending and causing any harm to individuals or organizations’ reputation, which are similar to the behaviors of some websites against our Party and Government. The more civilized the society is, the more unacceptable such behaviors are; and we need to fight against them not only to ensure strictness and justice of the law but also to conserve the beautiful meaning of civil liberty.
