In this week's News Shopper Thursday Issue discussion we ask what you think of internet censorship and government intervention in Raoul Moat Facebook tributes. Have your say and add your comments below.
The Thursday Issue is very simple. Each week we put a controversial question or suggestion to you, and ask if you agree or disagree with it.
Here is this week's:
The internet should be a free speech free-for-all. Within the boundaries of the law, people should be able to write what they like. There should be no censorship, even if some people think certain comments are in poor taste or offensive, such as tributes to killer Raoul Moat.
Now it's over to you. It's one thing for David Cameron to say there should be no sympathy for Raoul Moat but what do you think about MPs going further by calling on Facebook to remove tribute pages? Should there be censorship of internet comments which some people might be offended by? Why shouldn't people be given freedom to say what they like? Join the debate and add your comments below.
Check News Shopper's website every lunchtime for a new daily opinion column. Friday will be a sport rant. Monday is the Shopper Rant on a topical news story. Tuesday is entertainment day and Wednesday's rant is written by a reader. Be sure to have your say if you agree or disagree with what you read.
