Jean-Francois, your comments are inspired! As a member of "such media" in that I still publish articles on dead trees -- I have articles in fall issues of Wired and Playboy, for instance -- I rejoice in your reasoned suggestion that you deny me and my ilk access to the Net. But wait! I connect through wired.com, eff.org, or *.edu accounts. How do you plan to kick me off my "ISPs?" No, you're not out to lunch. -Declan On Wed, 4 Sep 1996, Jean-Francois Avon wrote:
One way to limit or retaliate against diffamation would be to refuse internet access to anybody known to be part of any such medias, being tv or paper.
ISPs would probably easily agree since the revenues coming from journalists vs from the general population is probably minuscule. Of course, the conventionnal media would set up their own ISP but they could be identified.
Does that makes sense or am I out to lunch?
