Censorship and Free Speech - Libertarian is for the discussion of censorship and free speech, from a curated, free market/libertarian perspective. By joining, you agree to the following rules:

• Both technical and cultural/political discussion is welcome. However, all participants must be supportive of free market / libertarian values (broadly speaking). Discussion of topics that are controversial within the libertarian movement (abortion, immigration, corporate censorship, etc) are welcome, but please take special care to frame your arguments carefully and neutrally without personal attacks.

• All participants must be polite and kind at all times, even when others are being rude or trying to bait them.

• All arguments must well reasoned, and backed by evidence.

• No brigading, shouting down others, personal attacks, insults, insinuations, threats of violence (individual or otherwise).

• If the discussion seems to be a boring, unproductive, or generating a lot of heat, the mod(s) may ask that it be stopped.

• Both technical and cultural/political discussion is welcome.

This is a public list that might be publicly archived, so please be cautious about saying anything that might get you in trouble with your local government or employer. In addition, I'm still working out what the rules should be, so I might change / add to them.

If you want a more free-wheeling, lightly moderated discussion for people of all persuasions, check out XMPP and Free Speech:
