LESSON 28
Blue-ribbon campaign


V1: I came across a website the other day with a blue-ribbon on the home page.

V2: A blue-ribbon?

V1: Yes, it had an image of a small blue-ribbon on it.

The blue-ribbon campaign is supporting free speech on the internet. If a website supports the campaign, it’ll have a blue ribbon on its home page. So, if you come across an image of a small blue ribbon on a website, it means that they’re supporting your right to express any opinion, your right to say anything you like on the internet….

The non-supporters are worried that free speech on the internet will allow absolutely anything to be published on it. And there can be serious problems when information flows freely. For example: how to protect children, and adults, from potentially offensive material.

There is also a green-ribbon campaign on the internet. It supports the right of free speech, but encourages people to use some restraint. So, it’s up to you – what you do. But, remember – don’t abuse the freedoms you have. Use restraint.
