我喜欢欧格玛教会,欧格玛教会认为知识是至高无上的,尤其是最原始的知识,最纯粹的理念。理念没有重量,但是可以移山。

欧格玛教会信奉没有任何知识是应该被销毁的,知识本身是没有问题的,可怕的是使用它的人。即使是最疯狂、最错误的想法,藏匿起来也无济于事,应该交给大众来判断。所以欧格玛教会神殿内经常会藏有被其他教会认为是禁忌的知识,比如死灵术。

欧格玛信仰如下:

Knowledge, particularly the raw knowledge of ideas, is supreme. An idea has no weight, but it can move mountains. The greatest gift of humankind, an idea outweighs anything made by mortal hands. Knowledge is power and must be used with care, but hiding it away from others is never a good thing. Stifle no new ideas, no matter how false and crazed they seem; rather, let them be heard and considered. Never slay a singer, nor stand by as others do so. Spread knowledge wherever it is prudent to do so. Curb and deny falsehoods, rumor, and deceitful tales whenever you encounter them. Write or copy lore of great value at least once a year and give it away. Sponsor and teach bards, scribes, and record keepers. Spread truth and knowledge so that all folk know more. Never deliver a message falsely or incompletely. Teach reading and writing to those who ask (if your time permits), and charge no fee for the teaching.

我在我的博客上写着:我的梦想是让网络变得更加开放、自由和快速。

对于网络,我的想法也是所有的内容不都应该被删除、藏匿。应该交由大众去判断。这是我理解的言论自由。但是最近发生了两件事,让我开始怀疑自己的想法。

第一个是 Cloudflare 停止了对 8chan 的服务

CloudFlare 是我非常崇拜的一家公司,我一度认为互联网服务就应该是 CloudFlare 提供的那样。但是有证据证明,一起枪击事件的犯罪嫌疑人从 8chan 上受到了鼓动,从而导致了这起枪击事件。8chan 创建的本意是 4chan 依然会删除部分内容,所以 8chan 想创造一个不会删除内容的 4chan,最终却成为了仇恨的温床。

第二个是Twitter关闭了一批来自大陆的账号

这么做的理由是 Twitter 认为,这部分账号进行了受组织协调的行动。

那么究竟,我们需要怎么样的言论自由呢?
