Let's have Internet calibration, instead of regulation

Click HERE
Gives a good background on the internet scene in Singapore....
-some good examples on online petitions...
-but the main takeaway for this article is in the title -- an argument against censorship. According to the writer, there is now more self-regulation/self-calibration/self-censorship/greater media literacy blah blah blah.....end result is that the views online are more balanced and not skewed heavily towards a certain bias.....given this equilibrium being reached, the govt should lay their hands off the internet and cede greater freedom to the netizens now that there is less danger of abuse.....

Useful for any questions concerning censorship and government control online.
