Inter-Internet Policy For Employees - OVERWRITE

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one", according to A.J. Liebling, longtime columnist for The New Yorker. That was then and this is now. The power of the Internet puts the power of the press into the hands of every user and has made free speech inexpensive and more plentiful. The explosive growth of the Internet has created concerns over the nature of the material that is accessible on it and the legal ramifications that may be associated with access or generation of material. We are all familiar with media reports of the Internet as a medium used by software pirates, hackers, terrorists, pornographers and other evil-doers. The very nature of the Internet makes it very difficult to censor these people at the source.
