    Hi cool discusion, but i am sick of political corectness there, especially question about cultural relativism, why wy should try to make internet free all over the world? Despite china is saying that what google do now is meddling in the internal affairs of china, and that our cultures are different, wy should try to support free speach, because china is manipulating with his peaople and actually uses Internet to manipulate people, which is simply not acceptable. And about that honour killing, this is islam connected and muslim do it even western world, so free internet in islam world is important even fo us. we should make internet which is immute to things such as “great fire wall”.
