The sites also provide links to office holders and links to allow web surfers to contact the parties and volunteer time or money. Earlier I made reference to web sites that published fake pictures of Al Gore and Monica Lewinski. The pictures were obvious fakes and were clearly intended to poke fun at Al Gore in a way many reasonable people would find offensive. Some may be offended at the amount of skin shown in some of the pictures. This type of web site raises questions about the conflict between free speech and propriety or decency.
Many web sites are concerned with protection of free speech rights on the Internet.
These sites generally advocate unlimited free speech. Congress has tried to limit free speech on the web, but a federal court struck down the law because it did not provide a clear definition of what is forbidden. At present, there is no enforceable law regulating free speech on the net. Fortunately, technology may provide an answer to this problem. These companies provide software fil ters that prevent access to information about drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, hate speech, sex, or violence.
