Letter: Fair hearing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ian Griffiths' article "Roddick under Internet attack" (25 August) intimating that Body Shop is being harassed on the Internet, misses the mark.
Griffiths quotes my postings. These help demonstrate why the Internet has become an important medium to circumvent corporate and government censorship. We all share the concern that the Internet can degenerate into a vessel for nasty diatribes. On the other hand, it offers the chance for ordinary citizens to be heard who don't have the deep pockets and legal pitbulls of multinationals such as Body Shop.
