The Attorney General called Dr. Alexander Tsesis as a witness qualified to testify as an expert legal historian to address the long term effects of hate speech and to apply his analysis to the Internet. He testified that these types of commercial, user-based filters are an "inadequate means of blocking bigotry" because they "shed too wide a net". For example, when America On-Line's(AOL' s) software tried to prevent people from accessing websites containing the word "breast", to thereby prevent visits to pornographic websites, it also blocked ones with information on breast cancer. 1, record 4, English, - user%2Dbased%20filter

Legal expert of KIBHR East Kazakhstan branch office had represented the news paper in this case. He argued that this publication could not be viewed as an appeal to forceful change of constitutional order and territorial integrity of Kazakhstan due to the following reasons : The text contains only an appeal to create an autonomy within the Republic. This is a political goal and the appeal itself does not contain a description of methods separatists planned to employ. The text does not mention violence or force in any part. Creation of autonomy itself is not a violation of territorial integrity-it is an attempt to change administrative-territorial division within the Republic and has nothing to do with its territorial integrity. The same about Constitutional order-it can not be affected by changes in administrative-territorial division. 1, record 8, English, - administrative%2Dterritorial%20division
