Howard Stern and the First Amendment
Howard Stern and the First Amendment
04/09/2004 07:55 PMThe odious Clear Channel radio barony's firing of
Howard Stern only puts a period at the end of the sentence. The
people who run that company are contemptible, because their action
combines flagrant politics and cowardice -- quite a combination.
But save your real contempt for the FCC, its cowardly chairman, Michael
Powell, and his craven colleagues. Egged on by a Congress that has
shown frightening disdain for free speech, the FCC has gone on its
only holy war against "indecency." (If any of this bothers you, please
contact the FCC and say
so.)
What's indecent is rankly political and financial motives that spit on
the First Amendment. Stern,
as I've noted, is not my cup of tea. But I'll support advertisers who
support him in the future.

04/29/2004 01:32 PMOur friends at
Gawker mutter into
their Xantinis:
America's public enemy #1, radio-dude Howard
Stern, made an off-hand remark on this morning's show -- he claims he
writes a secret weblog. Stern said he writes as "another character"
and that only "about 4 people are in on the joke." OK, he's almost
certainly not Rance,
who repeatedly claims to be an actor and not a fat guy eating Twinkies
in his basement, laughing at a credulous, gossip-starved public.
If anyone out there has candidates for what might be Stern's secret
blog, let us know -- if the blogger brags about hurling prosciutto at
a stripper's ass, that might be a tip-off.

Howard Stern's anti-Bush
rhetoric may be more influential than people think. With all the
extra media attention that a half a million dollars worth of FCC fines
can garner, it looks like Howard's rearing up against George. It's
weird to see an article like this after how pro-war and pro-Bush the
Stern show was after 9-11. (Free registration required, ctnow.com)

Call It Censorship
06/22/2005 02:17 AMLooks like the porn police have kicked into high gear in Malaysia. The
government there has just said that
all cyber cafes must use web porn
filters. We assume this is being done for the sake of the
children, as all earnest anti-porn measures are, though the story
doesn't quite make clear what the real intention is. Still, as many
people pointed out when the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of
manda
tory filtering in libraries, the filters will cause many more
problems than they'll fix. Namely, they'll do a bad job of actually
blocking porn sites, they'll inadvertently
block
many reasonable and useful non-porn sites, and they'll be very
costly to implement. Even worse, the Malaysian mandate will be forced
on private businesses, not on free public computers in libraries. One
service provider quoted in the story says that it's only censorship if
filtering is done by the ISP, rather than software on the PCs -- where
the owner of the PCs gets to pick what filters to use. However, since
those filters are mandatory, it certainly seems to qualify as
censorship under most definitions we know. The really unfortunate
part is that, unlike millions of people in the US, many Malaysians
probably don't have a home computer they can fall back on when the
government goes overboard with useless filtering on publicly
accessible computers.

because
Jason Calacanis
just gave him one. Jason says:
We just got back from the XM press conference at CES and we got to ask
him two questions -- we made them zingers of course: Question one:
“What impact do you think Howard Stern going to Sirius is going to
have on your business, and how close did you come to signing him?”
As you can see from his expression he was really excited about
answering this one).
Question two: “Dr. Laura over the past couple of years said that gay
people are biological errors. You talked before about decisive
programming (i.e. Stern), I wonder what XM’s position is on hate
speech was and if you condone it. And why would you associate yourself
with her after you said you wouldn’t associate with Howard Stern
because of controversy issues. Are you going to lose subscribers, and
do you feel gay people are biological errors?”

Nader: It is "censorship" to say "I
shouldn't run"
Nader: It is "censorship" to say "I
shouldn't run"
02/10/2004 02:53 AMI realized today just how angry I remain at Ralph Nader, former hero
of mine, while listening to him on
NPR
today. Apparently, Mr. Nader is considering another run for president.
When pressed quite effectively by Melissa Block to respond to the many
many many who are begging him not to run, including the
Na
tion, Mr. Nader responded that such a request was "censorship."
This man is truly outrageous. The only thing a Nader candidacy would
do is increase the chance that Bush will be reelected. This man has
become unsafe -- to himself, and to the nation. If he has friends,
they should be his friend and stop him from this.
Which got me thinking: If you believe that but for Nader's not
withdrawing in the last moments before the 2000 election, Bush would
not have been elected (which is true), and you believe that a Bush
presidency has caused great harm -- to the nation, to the environment,
and to the families of soldiers lost in Iraq (which is also true),
then which has been more harmful to society: The Corvair or its enemy?
And what would we say of a car company that released a Corvair again?
And oh, by the way, is it "censorship" to say you should not run, Mr.
Nader? No, it is not. It is asking you to do what you have asked
corporate America to do for your whole life -- take responsibility for
the consequences of your actions. When I hear you explain why you did
not cause the election of George Bush, you sound like a tobacco
executive. And when you increase the risk of a second term for
President Bush, you are behaving worse than an auto executive from the
1960s -- the harm will be the same, but at least profit is taxed.

Censorship To The People!
06/10/2004 12:50 PMJust as Vietnam has been forcing internet cafes to register their
users and report the
uploa
ding or downloading of "bad information", China has apparently
realized that they can't censor the internet effectively on their own.
So, they've now created a nice little site where
anyone can be a good
citizen and report on their neighbors for being bad information
purveyors online. It's unclear if there's any sort of "reward"
for being so forthcoming, but how long will it be until people start
reporting the government's own websites and other such information as
being questionable?
Micorosoft and Censorship!
Micorosoft and Censorship!
06/17/2005 03:49 PMI am going to get to my point but it is going to take a paragraph
or two. I have talked about my BBS before, and you may be thinking how
does that relate to Microsoft and Censorship. Well for a number of
years people could connect to the site via a custom software client.
That client not only allowed you to access the BBS but it allowed you
to surf the Internet. It was designed for the early Internet days when
people were still dialing into the BBS and tunneling into the net. The
client had an IP component and those that dialed into ISP could access
the BBS with the tool via an IP connection. The cool thing was that
tool allowed people to use my site as proxy service. It was not
advertised but somehow this info made it into China.
I started noticing a very high number of Chinese people creating
accounts, and connecting to the BBS, then spending their alloted free
time on the system surfing websites the Chinese government had
blocked, they never used the BBS but instead used the BBS as a gateway
to US news sites and message boards.
I was cool with it at first, I figured hey they can access stuff
that is blocked by their government, and It was my way to put 2 middle
fingers up, and point them toward the communist government saying
screw you.
Well it started to get out of control, my system had 400 available
nodes and they filled them all. I was on a unlimited bandwidth pipe
but my regular users were starting to suffer, and I had to reduce the
number of nodes, that I allowed people to use this quasi proxy
service. Finally the Chinese figured it out and blocked our domain.
Party over!
That was 1996-7 before people started abusing proxy services, and
doing malicious things. When you do not have freedom of the press or
freedom of speech in a country, then individuals, are going to
seek avenues to say things openly and without repression the world
needs to hear, then we as people of free nations, can bring pressure
through or governments or via personal actions to make these
governments open up.
Even then I kept and eye on the log files to make sure somebody was
not doing anything that would cause my front door to be kicked in. I
felt I was being a responsible citizen defending free speech etc. I
have never discussed this before because at the time I felt it was the
right thing and it was a personal victory. I did not communicate with
those using the system and they never once communicated with me. But
they did so by theie web surfing actions I could tell by the log files
what sites they were visiting. (cnn.com, abc.com, nbc.com)
So I have been watching the debate with Microsoft since their
Chinese censorship issue raised it's ugly head. I'll be honest I am
pissed! If a guy like me, in a very small way help people get
information and allow freedom of speech when it is represeed in their
own countries then a big company like Microsoft damn well better
also.
Microsoft not only has a responsibility to it's share holders but
being this companies headquarter is in these United States of
America were we believe in free speech, they have a MORAL
and ETHICAL responsibility to tell the Chinese government, "NO"! we
will not sensor words that your citizens try to write on our
websites.
I am very disappointed in Bill Gates and all the rest of the
Board Members at Microsoft. You should be ashamed of yourselves, and I
hope that you don't sleep well at night knowing that you are enabling
a foreign government to suppress the will of the people. This makes me
Sick, can I be anymore graphic! [
