This is good to know. I am always careful to be politically correct when I blog for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending others. Although I'm sure I'll still be that way it's nice to know that my opinion on a topic is protected.

I think it is great that bloggers have the same freedom of speech protection as journalists, but journalists sometimes get a lot of heat for what they write, especially if it is not in favor of the person they are talking about. Now every time I am about to post something publicly, especially on Twitter, I remember what Professor Knight said on the first day of class, that the person you are talking about may see it and respond to you. #emac6300

I think this is great news as well. As a blogger myself, I do try to be considerate of other people's beliefs, feelings, etc. But, people should also have the freedom to talk about what they like. I have been thinking about Professor Knight's comment about Twitter posts as well, lol. That definitely wouldn't be a good situation to be in. I like the concept of the "trigger warning" too. It's a good way for people to be able to choose whether or not they want to go forward with reading the material.
