Haven for Freedom of Speech
(download)
Iceland has a bold new international money-making plan. The country wants to turn itself into a haven for the digital age. "A haven for freedom of information, freedom of expression and of speech," says lawmaker Birgitta Jonsdottir. "What we are doing is putting together all the best laws so that one country can set the standard for how we in the future strengthen these rights." Iceland wants people from around the world to set up their servers there and publish material online without the fear of ruinous lawsuits or censorship. Icelanders see this as a noble aim and a business opportunity.
