Limited/Designated Public Forums and E-Government Sites
Has anyone out there dug into the topic of government designation (or web policy denials) in the U.S. or elsewhere if the legal concept existing that interactive spaces hosted on government website are a "public forum" of any form? By interactive I mean online space where the public can post comments and react to the comments of others. Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org
I don't know of anyone offhand, but the answer almost certainly has to be yes. I'd ask Lee Tien at EFF. DLB On Apr 17 2008, Steven Clift wrote:
