Senator wants to ban “extremist” material FBI introduced to suspects.
–
After the FBI “uncovered” another one of its self-orchestrated “terrorist plots,” leading to the arrest of two women, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) demanded on-line censorship of the “extremist” literature the FBI provided to the suspects.
–
Feinstein called for on-line suppression of the popular counterculture publication the Anarchist Cookbookas well as an al-Qaeda publication, which critics characterized as a slippery slope leading to Chinese-style Internet censorship.
–
“I am particularly struck that the alleged bombers made use of online bomb making guides like The Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine,” Feinstein said, despite a FBI undercover agent admitting he provided the material to the suspects. “These documents are not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the Internet.”
–
Critics were quick to label Feinstein’s statement as an attack on the First Amendment.
–
“For what it’s worth, Dianne Feinstein’s ‘view’ is wrong,” Mike Masnick with TechDirt wrote. “The Anarchist Cookbook is very much protected by the First Amendment.”
–
“While the book is banned in other countries, who don’t have the equivalent of the First Amendment, it’s perfectly legal in the U.S.”
–
Lucy Dalglish, the Dean of Journalism at the University of Maryland, called it “a blatant violation of the First Amendment.” “That’s the price we pay for a free society,” she added.
–
The FBI’s undercover agent met the women, Noelle Velentzas and Asia Siddiqui, to encourage them to build bombs by introducing them to The Anarchist Cookbook and other materials.
