Freedom's Curse

The scholarly article "Rediscovering a Lost Freedom: The First Amendment Right to Censor Unwanted Speech." is about the evil effects of the freedom of using explicit language in mass media and communication. The author talks links this to the nuisance on internet due to popping up porn links, use of language for advertisements and indecent use of language by rap artists. He supports the law of ban on the freedom of speech. He gives out valid reasons in support of this but at the same time also says that he does not want to take off the freedom of speech.

This article is in contrast with the article from the "Atlantic". It denies the fact that the government has allowed such thing. Though sometimes words like Fuck are used out of the context but usually people use it in the right sense to curse at someone. And for infants, it develops a sense of finding out what it is and than the consequences are worst. But as per the article of Atlantic, its kind of a question in itself. But on the other side, Stephen gives in facts and figures in his article to support. From both the articles, I come to a conclusion that the best thing is to define a law that doesn't support public use of filthy words.
