What Things Regulate Speech

Larry Lessig

Abstract:

We come from a tradition of free speech law that thinks primarily about
how government regulates speech. We are entering a time when the greatest
threat to free speech is no longer government. This essay sketches a
more generl model for thinking about speech regulation, and applies it to
the problem of filtering speech on the net. Some ranting against PICS,
and the CDA also included.
