Electronic Governance does not put any shackles or hindrances on any person's right to information. The said right should be absolute in all practical purposes except with the ultimate provision that information detrimental to the future of mankind or secret coded information concerning national and international security and other related information can be withheld in the larger interest. Laws and regulations in this regard have to be specially enacted by national jurisdictions and Electronic Governance. Free Speech is another important legal issue concerning Electronic Governments. Governments in cyberspace are faced by this peculiar and ticklish issue of free speech.
Citizens have a right to free speech.
This right is enshrined as a Fundamental Right in Chapter -III of The Constitution of India. The Internet raises the issue of how to protect children from pornography and obscenity while at the same time, preserving the Constitutionally-protected rights of free speech for adults. There are ways of screening out and limiting what your children can see at the computer and the same are becoming more user friendly. However the question arises as to whether the concept of discrimination will be attracted to such as situation and if so to what extent. Immediately afterwards, numerous law suits were filed by different persons from public service organizations, online service providers, publishers, librarians.
