| Message | the internet is free speech , no nation should have jurisdiction over it , the police should have no greater access to it than a normal user , I wont support demanding IP locations , server raids etc etc. |

| Message | America does it - are you saying that America is wrong? *laughs*. I want to eliminate rebels and terrorists and this is a good way to work in that direction. Keep in mind that this is the 'police'. Not individuals. The police ARE regulated, y'know. I don't want child pornographers to be able to feel free on the Internet. It's my feeling that criminals have no place in New Endralon. |

| Message | I simply think its worth protecting the anonymity of free speech offered by the internet , the police can still read and make conviction based on the information the internet provides , I just dont think governments should have the power to spy on us and find out what we're doing with our computers and right of free speech. Free speech is never a crime the state has no right to identify the individuals partaking in any type of free speech , this often leads to abuse of the power in RL countries such as the UK and US , also holding or transfering data can never be a crime in itself no matter what that data is . We stand by these principles. |

| Message | Actually again I'm with MLC on this one. If people have to find a way to communicate these activities, then do it online for heaven's sake. We'll bust their balls once they try any such thing in the real world outside of their computer! |
