Abstract: The great Internet Freedom Debate is rolling forward.
At issue is the balance to be struck between `free speech` and
the ability of families, employers, schools or other organisations
to protect themselves against the receipt of material that is
unwanted, illegal or both. The responsibility for striking the
balance, and providing mechanisms to enforce it is, however,
increasingly seen as not as a job for governments, legislatures
or police forces, but for private citizens and the private companies
that own and run the Internet industry.

set of skills to examine the computer for evidentiary purposes.
