Lawyer Wants To Wipe Out Anonymous Speech If It's Critical Of Someone
Found on Techdirt on Monday, 19 September 2011
Lawyer Peter Baugher recently wrote an editorial piece for the Chicago Tribune which rehashes a bunch of really bad arguments in an attempt to decimate the First Amendment by effectively removing anonymity online.
He seems to assume that it should still be illegal if someone has a bad opinion of you, because it "encourages anti-social behavior."
That's the nature of living in a free and open society that believes in the right to free speech. You won't like all of that speech.
Perhaps Baugher should just behave and make sure that people have no reason to have a bad opinion of him.
