Re: Hands off my mouse!

Thanks for covering this, Lisa. I had not heard of this bill.
Of course you're right that people should not engage in anti-religious mudslinging. But I am afraid that you are not really going to convince the other side that "censorship is wrong, full stop" either. The haredi elite and large parts of the public see censorship and surveillance as absolutely crucial to the maintenance of their ways of life. There is no real private sphere for unmarried individuals in that world - or at least, there aren't too many people who would invest energy in defending it. Not that it gets much better for married people.
I am not saying this to denigrate that way of life; but I think those who care about this encroachment on their freedom should make it very clear that this is about a fundamentalist minority trying to impose its norms on the rest of society.
