... Yet, just as the freedom of speech, Internet speech is not absolute. Most US Courts are ruling against tortious and criminal Internet speech, after a cautious balance between freedom of speech and privacy rights. Even though the US freedom of speech protects many forms of expression (oral, written, symbolic, etc), the US Supreme Court has prohibited or limited some forms of expression. In Polito v. AOL, the Court had to balance the scope of the anonymous Internet speaker constitutional freedom of speech and privacy rights v. the recipient’s rights. The court was concerned with the freedom of speech of those anonymous Internet speakers who were not parties to the underlying litigation. These factors are a high burden.” Thus, anonymous Internet speakers may expect to be subject to the same freedom of speech limits established for traditional forms of expression. ...
... Bibliografía (Artículos doctrinales) - Restricting Freedom of Contract through Non-Discrimination Provisions? Texto del artículo ]
The article compares the effect of non-discrimination rules in German private law and in the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) on freedom of contract. The majority of German private lawyers have objected to German non-discrimination rules for their perceived restriction on freedom of contract; thus the DCFR is more likely to impact the German legal order if it is less restrictive in this regard. However, this criticism may not carry so much weight, since the DCFR contains several provisions that limit the impact on freedom of contract in practice. ...
... As you know, Reporters Without Borders is an international press freedom organization that defends the right to inform and to be informed; Amnesty International is a Nobel prize winning international human rights organization with over 2.2 million members worldwide. In the spirit of fostering freedom of expression, we are asking that you do not censor any of your search engines or blog platforms anywhere around the world on this day. However, these concepts remain merely unfulfilled dreams for millions of people who live in countries where freedom of expression, creativity, and peaceful thought are not respected or protected. Especially after having participated, for months, within a multi-stakeholder initiative with your firms, our organizations understand the challenges of operating in countries that restrict Internet access; these countries are trying to pressure you to obey local laws that do not comport with international law and standards that protect freedom of expression. ...
... The Torture Memos, Professor Yoo, and Academic
Freedom
Statement of Dean Edley
August 20, 2009 While on leave of absence from Berkeley, serving as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Bush Administration, Professor Yoo wrote and contributed to memoranda that officials used as the legal basis for policies concerning detention and interrogation techniques in our nation’s efforts to comb... Because this is a public university, he enjoys not only security of employment and academic freedom, but also First Amendment and Due Process rights. Does what Professor Yoo wrote while away from the University somehow place him beyond the pale of academic freedom today, when he is back on campus? If, however, this strong consensus were enough to fire or sanction someone, then academic freedom would be meaningless. ...
... Even though the unfolding of a strategy that was not revealed at the time of election can be a reason for some pause, this is the kind of freedom that a democratic system does allow the electorally victorious. My worry about the euro was partly connected with each country giving up the freedom of monetary policy and of exchange rate adjustments, which have greatly helped countries in difficulty in the past, and prevented the necessity of massive destabilisation of human lives in frantic efforts to stabilise the financial markets. That monetary freedom could be given up when there is also political and fiscal integration (as the states in the US have), but the halfway house of the eurozone has been a recipe for disaster. ...
... El libro de Atiyah, Rise and Fall of Freedom of Contract, 1980, según reconoce el mismo autor se cierra cuando comienza un resurgimiento de las doctrinas liberales de la mano de la que llama nueva derecha a partir de la llegada al poder de M. Thachter en 1979 (v. Atiyah, Freedom of Contract and the New Right, en Essays on Contract, Oxford 1990, p. 355 y ss.). ...
... El razonamiento lo ha descrito muy bien William Cavanaugh: «America is the one nation that has always stood for freedom and righteousness throughout the world (…) We believe that, because of our unique position as bearers of freedom, we have been singled out by a terrible enemy. ...
... En relación con la libertad religiosa negativa, he leído esto que me parece interesante:
"The problématique of post-modernity is mirrored by the rise of the negative freedom of religion—beyond the limits of the obvious legitimacy of protection from constraint in a stricter sense—that has increasingly been transformed into a right not to be confronted with the Other of transcendency tra... This idea has had repercussions in the earlier judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court, which tried to restrict the protection of the civil right to religious freedom to traditional religions (not just
Christianity)". ...
... Frankly speaking, instructing people to make a bomb has nothing to do with the freedom of expression, or the freedom of informing people. ...
