Although I can't defend the idiocy of some people who choose to use their time on the Internet in such a way (and for sure many idiots do), I believe people have the right to free speech. Its such a shame, I can't help but feel I'm witnessing the death of the Internet with each new news story, law and filter.
The problem I think is control, governments can't stomach a free forum for discussion and opinion in which they have no direct control, its too hard to scare people with threats of stealing their money and freedom.

I make it my duty to use TOR as often as possible in the form of 'OperaTor', an awesome easy to use anonymous webbrowser built on the TOR network. I hope, as a big f**k you to the case mentioned, that the creator of that blog did the same.

Ps, I know there's the flip side that the Internet makes it harder to protect people too, but I don't think this example warrants protection anyway. If the blog was about me id be saying the same.
