"Freedooooommmm!"

So, this picture was posted to my FB account recently:

After having read the material for this week, I am still left wondering if this is weak or strong use of internet freedom. I say this because is comes from an U.S. citizen to a U.S. citizen. But who are the people who might benefit the most from this? Other women in Taliban-heavy places who are also struggling for their educational (and other) freedoms. The content for us (the U.S.) is not something we "need" to censor. But that might not be the case in the Middle East.

So what should FB do, were this to make its way to the oppressed/be posted by the oppressed? Would they delete it, as they did in the case of the Moroccan citizen lobbying for separation of religion and education? And what, then, should the U.S. government do: support the post, or support its censure?

I am torn: though I live in a country with freedom of expression, where is the line drawn? I certainly don't support child pornography, and, in my opinion, neither should the US government! But it gets stickier with something like the KKK--though I abhor their rhetoric and motives, do they not also have the right to express their beliefs (something slightly more different than the illegality of "selling" children).

So, it seems the internet is still some type of contested territory, where the boundaries are still being drawn. And, it seems like those lines are going to be continually in flux--and perhaps that is to our benefit, as society and the world changes. Therefore, do we need set, inflexible boundaries? Maybe not...
