Maybe ... but people like Moat are all over the world (they most commonly crop up in the US; the home of trigger happy cops, brutal prisons, and the death penalty) ... And I still believe that limits on the press are limits on our freedoms .... I think Milton wrote along these lines in the 1640s in his "Areopagitica" (I could google this, but sometimes I prefer to be old fashioned and use my memory).
