| Message | three and four seem a step backwards |
| Date | 23:39:45, January 29, 2009 CET | From | Christian Democrat Party | To | Debating the media Freedom |
| Message | 1 and 2 are reasonable, but what's up with 3 and 4? With 3, you actually want to stop our government investigating cases of child abuse / pornography on the internet as well as terrorist websites that instruct people on how to make a bomb and many other websites that our government needs to help prevent. And with 4, what's the heavy censorship about, we're not Nazis are we? |

| Message | theres no harm in having a government radio station or tv programme as there are still private radio stations and tv progrmmes |
| Date | 23:23:43, January 30, 2009 CET | From | TW@ | To | Debating the media Freedom |
| Message | The TW@ party believes that there must be some sort of protection put into the media content in the internet. Also the 4th article seems to disagree with the third: 3rd says stop censorship, 4th says make it more heavy? You seem to be confused OOC: To the Christian Democrat Party; is there really a need to bring the Nazis into this? |
