Discussion on World Socialist Web Site  

PayPal blocks sale of WSWS pamphlet




I commend the World Socialist Web Site for seeing the value of old fashioned PRINTED communications. A REAL socialist newspaper would be a welcome site at any factory gate.

"The effective banning of the sale of a book represents a dangerous new stage in the ongoing campaign to criminalize political expression and censor freedom of speech on the Internet."

I can see how almost blissful freedom of speech in the early days of the Internet is becoming more and more cramped.

The disease spreads : A few weeks ago I wanted to post a comment ( promoting the black poet , Langston Hughes ) on the Brown [ University ] Daily Herald web site and instantly got this message: " You are banned .... " No reason given and no example where I " crossed the line ". They had never even REMOVED any of my previous posts. Of course, I try to respect ordinary decency while debating " controversial " issues.
[   We are unable to post your comment because you have been banned by The Brown Daily Herald. Find out more. ]   testing just today
I guess " socialism " will soon be BANNED IN BOSTON as obscene and politically incorrect.

Best wishes for your " free speech " fight . The truth itself is revolutionary !
