      PRESS RELEASE CSO NOW MIRROR'S FREEDOM SITE

        On August 1, 1996 Canuck Soup ONLINE will mirror a
controversial
white supremacist Internet web site that is dedicated to hosting
controversial groups.
        I am the webmaster for CSO and a 15 year old British
Columbian. I
decided to mirror the "Freedom Site" because of B.C.'s misguided
attempt to
censor the Internet -- a decision sparked by hate groups.
        I do not agree with the Freedom Site's content, but I do agree
that
they have a fundamental right to express their political opinions,
both on and
off the Internet. The B.C. government has no experience or
understanding of
cyberspace, or a right to censor or suppress legal expression, even if
it's
on a web site.
        I'm also requesting that other people who are interested in
mirroring the Freedom Site contact freedom@netcom.ca (the webmaster at
freedom site) and e-mail me at dnedre@netshop.net to inform me that
you are
setting up a mirror of the Freedom Site.
        I do not condone the information provided in the Freedom Site.
