A fundamental First Amendment principle is that all persons have access to places where they can speak & listen & then, after reflection, speak & listen once more. Today, one of the most important places to exchange views is cyberspace, particularly social media, which offers relatively unlimited, low-cost capacity for communication of all kinds. Anthony Kennedy –Former USA Supreme Court Justice – Majority Opinion, Packingham v. North Carolina, 6/2017 If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood & fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. Louis Brandeis – Former USA Supreme Court Justice – Concurring Opinion, Whitney v. California, 5/1927 I urge improving the governance capacity in cyberspace & developing a governing network led by the [Communist Party of China]. Internet media should spread positive information, uphold the correct political direction & guide public opinion & values towards the right direction. Internet service providers should take responsibility to prevent cyberspace from degrading into a platform full of harmful, false & provocative information.
