	American Civil Liberties Union : Declaration of Bennett Haselton in ALA v. Pataki
		Peacefire and its members believe that the ability of minors to obtain online information and to participate in chat rooms or discussion groups with other minors and with adults is a constitutional right as well as a vital part of any young person's education.
		Peacefire's members fear that the Act poses a significant and concrete risk to the rights of minors to continue to have free and low-cost access to the enormous volume of material available on the Internet.
		Peacefire believes that decisions regarding who should have access to the Internet are best left to minors and their parents.

	Wired News: To Be Young, Cyber, and Free
		Peacefire is a revolutionary space where teenagers from all over the world can gather to form a political community, share values, fight for political rights, and support and defend one another from continuous assaults on their freedom, judgment, and dignity by journalists, politicians, some parents, educators, and some members of organized religion.
		Haselton founded Peacefire because the embattled anti-censorship groups existing on the Net were slow to grasp the implications of the "quick fix" censorship blocking systems (like Cybersitter, Net Nanny, and Cyber Patrol) on freedom of speech and the lives of minors.
		Peacefire not only provides him with a community, but also with information on disabling censorship technology; the history of individual blocking programs; legal rights and precedents; writings, arguments, and rulings relevant to free speech and the rights of children in the digital age; and anti-censorship graphics to download and display.

	internet freedom: articles-11-Nov-1998 \| Peacefire: Unblocking information
		Peacefire reminds us that freedom of thought, access to information and diverse points of view, and the use of extraordinary new technologies like the Internet are not privileges sometimes granted by patronizing authority, but a right for all Americans, including young ones.
		Peacefire's decision to publish instructions on how to disable this mindless, demeaning and profoundly anti-democratic technology suggests that kids might finally be getting some help in this eternal conflict, since most adults in a position to protect them have turned their backs and let them down.
		In either case, Peacefire reminds us that freedom of thought, access to information and diverse points of view, and the use of extraordinary new technologies like the Internet are not privileges sometimes granted by patronizing authority, but a right for all Americans, including young ones.

		Peacefire has come under scrutiny for posting the information required to get around blocking software, essentially giving any child with computer experience the keys to disable filters.

		Peacefire also points out that in blocking all sexually explicit sites, filtering software usually also blocks educational material on subjects such as AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, breast exams, and the like.

	Jon Katz - 10/19/98 - Geek Revolution
		Peacefire has helped lay bare the idea that there is any such thing as a blocking software that will screen all of the dangers of the world from their children's computers.
		Haselton, now 19, says he was inspired to begin Peacefire when he read an article on blocking software by Brock Meeks and Declan McCullagh, published in l996 in Cyber-Wire dispatch (which was immediately blocked by at least one blocking program after it ran the piece).
		Peacefire is one of the few sources in media about what blocking software really blocks, something few parents or librarians or educators know when they install it on children's computers.

		Peacefire took antigay passages word for word from four well-known conservative web sites—Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America, and the official web site of radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger—and created bait web pages using that content.

		Peacefire says it then asked these companies if they would block the original sources of the content, but as of early June, none of the companies had agreed to do so.

	Infothought: Peacefire seeks volunteers to help work on anti-censorship technology
		Peacefire has joined forces with Voice of America , a federal agency that used to do pro-democracy radio broadcasts into communist Eastern Europe and Asia, and is currently still broadcasting into China while branching out into finding ways to defeat Internet censorship.
		Besides, the most important part of the process is to have many reviewers look at the software design and try to find flaws that the censors could exploit, and that doesn't take any minimum time commitment.
		As part of this project, Peacefire is probably going to move towards fewer consumer-reports-style pages about what blocking software really blocks, and more towards work on anti-censorship technology.
