Advertising, Gambling and Freedom of Speech

Earlier someone (one of the class, doesn’t matter who) made a post advertising a way to get a Wii for free.  The suggested way to get the Wii was to encourage people join an online betting group and bet at least £5.

Dilemma: I removed the post.  Should I?  Why?  Why not?

I watched Louis Theroux’s documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church in the States a few month ago.  They are an interesting example of the right to Free Speech… having just been fined a huge sum of money for protesting.  Do you think they should have been? 

The BBC report the story HERE

Louis gives his opinion on the Church HERE.
