I strongly believe in free speech. The only thing that we might need to filter is direct hate speech that is calling for active violence. Anything else should be expressed freely. We need a distributed network for news that avoids these sort of laws to host content partially (few nodes together have the complete data) and changing over time what is hosted. TorrentNews or something like that.

If .onion got more acceptance and browsers could, by default, connect to .onion sites, that'd be a nice first step, wouldn't it?

Web to Tor bridge sites are OK, but I'm guessing they'd be held liable since they ultimately deliver the offending page.

Incitement to violence shouldn't be a limit on free speech directly, but illegal in the way other things involving speech are illegal. Fraud, conspiracy, etc.

I guess than the next phase is to build a mesh network of wifi routers and create a free closed internet without access for government or whoever wants to ban free speech. The technology is ready, with solar power improvements we can do it.
