The CyberNation of Freedom is an unwavering supporter of the right to freedom of speech for all individuals, and in all aspects of their lives. This includes speech on the Internet and any other technologies which may arise in the future. Basic individual rights are never to be sacrificed.

However, The CyberNation of Freedom does recognize the dangers that parents see for their children on the Internet. (e.g. websites which promote pornography, violence, criminal activity, the making of bombs, etc.) The government is trying to get involved in this issue by way of restricting and regulating our rights through the enactment of a national decency law (a.k.a. censorship), but these illegitimate actions are not needed. Whenever a widespread consumer need exists, the competitive markets will create solutions. We have listed below a number of market-based solutions to this parental concern, and expect that many more will be surfacing in the near future. (Please feel free to E-mail Us with new solutions that are created so that we can list them here.)
