Jul 19 2011: The protections you mention are usually used as an argument to start politic censorship. Informed citizens don't need governments or institutions to protect them from listening to criticism in the name of morality.
Information and transparency are always good as they allow citizens to debate their moral values and citizens should be educated on how to analyse information, refusing to accept all they read as the truth.
I do agree institutions should do more to protect minors, pursuit and sentence child pornographers and to avoid that informations on how to build deadly weapons become public. Going beyond basic premisses threatens our freedoms and democracy.
May 16 2011: Denunciar de forma adequada tentativas de corrupção é uma parte importante da solução. Nem sempre essas denuncias resultarão em condenações dos culpados, mas não se pode deixar de denunciar. Pode acontecer que seja enquadrado num estereotipo negativo por alguns, porque os corruptos precisam desencorajar as denúncias e denegrir a imagem dos denunciantes. Isso faz parte da sua estratégia. Mas também será apoiado por aqueles que querem um mundo mais justo.
Outra medida importante é apoiar os que denunciam, por exemplo ajudando a financiar custos legais e aconselhamento jurídico.
