BAD.
Internet is the international place of freedom, be it good stuff or bad stuff on the net, the individual itself must learn how to filter all the info; We don't need no system that removes bits and pieces of the whole body of information. The idea itself is outrageous.

I would think that altering the words I speak or write and publishing them would be a violation of my copyright. I think this will end up in court.

Tecnology has changed everything
soon people will not need to goverments-for anything
from producing their own goods to electricity

it scares them

technology is still in its infancy

actually, there are already flaws in this. as humans we will just find a way around and make new words and phrases. Remember when metallica tried pulling their songs off napster, people just listed songs it as etallicam to get around it. Be creative to avoid these problems, its not hard.

As the people awaken from their "consensus trance", the last thing the "money power" want is the free flow of information. All the media is in a few hands by design. This i predict will be the first in a long line to censor the internet. They call this "full spectrum dominance"

Mr E Boyce, Manchester,

This is overt facism! Does anyone care about free speech any longer? The whole point of this is not to censor swear words at all, the whole agenda is the political censorship of the internet. All a part of the new world order being built around us as we have our eyes glued on our tv sets.

Cody , Chattanooga,

Web 2.0 is a reflection of the human condition. Good & bad. To censor this is to censor free speech and free thinking. We are all disgusted by paedo's, violence, extremism, fraudsters on the web. But neither do I want to be convicted of a "thought crime". How exactly would this work in China? Iran?

Lucas Tatek, Herts., uk

The less 'real' work we do, the more we have to pay people to tinker with things that don't need tinkering with. Any job that infringes the freedoms of others should be abolished, we just don't need it. Before we know it, we'll have no freedoms left. I defend my right to be offended!

YEAH Claire, WRITE what they want... they are words, dear, not rapes, not violence. Words- ideas. Not actions.

Now DO what they want? Maybe not...

Peter, Seattle, USA

What if these 'loonies' are actually trying to communicate information and opinions that the mainstream media will not cover? The internet may well be the only forum left where free speech is permitted.

Microsoft sound like they want to implement Big Brother's 'Newspeak' dictionary from '1984'.

John, Brighton, UK

What dumb melonfarmer thought of this scheme? Of course, words that are 'undesirable' to some are perfectly acceptable to others. Remember when AOL censored breast cancer support forums and pages because of the deadly word breast? And don't even try to report any news about Scunthorpe...

Clive X Parker, New York, USA

You can't just decide that write/do are the same thing.

People should be allowed to say what they want on the internet. It's called free speech.

The internet has worked fine without censorship until now. There are bad things on it but it's just a transversection of society as a whole.

This very much relates to "terror laws" and anything else that encroaches on civil liberties. As soon as you allow such seemingly small changes then the erosion of such rights steadily increases. For instance, perhaps one day I might not even be allowed to write this..

charles, Cambridge, Great Britain

Of course it should be censored... like the good monkeys that we are we must never criticise.. and never ever break our masters' rules or question their rules or moralities.. God Save the Queen and Bush as well

Pepe, London, UK

So you think you should just let people write/ do what they want?? If some men had their way I am sure there would be live rape on the internet for the sickos to view.
There has to be a line.
There has to be some rules.
What are you thinking?

Claire, Bucks,

Agree with Antonio.

Kazuki, Tokyo, Japan

The internet should not be censored!!

Never ever ever!
