Hey Guys,
Here is the television commerical I used in my presentation. The British organization Don't Die for a Diet, who created this commerical did not renew their website domain in 2010, but they are still heavily active in television production to get their message across. Do you feel this is activist media in that it is critiquing another form of media ( pro-ana-mia websites)? Do you feel that there should be censorship on websites that promote destructive behavior? Or do you feel restricting web content goes against freedom of speech?

i think it would be impossible to restrict what people are saying on a pro-anorexia or pro-bulimia website, unless it can be proved that they the websites are DIRECTLY responsible for someone's personal harm/death. even in a case like this, it would be nearly impossible to determine that a website would be the sole motivating factor in someone deciding to be anorexic or bulimic. there are lots of other social/personal factors that lead to eating disorders--should these forces be held responsible too? it's a slippery slope when you start restricting freedom of speech--when does it end?
