That was an interesting read. When people go around misusing this freedom of speech for spreading hate or in some cases cyber bullying these shouldnt this be restricted?? Especially to ensure the rest of the users of social media to have a pleasant experience

I do think it needs to be controlled and limited.

The news article is a great read. I definitely agree with the writers conclusion about social media. I believe it shouldn't be up to the government to restrict social media. It's up to people to be aware of things and restrict themselves. Also, the admins of certain sites can make their own restrictions if needed. We are still supposed to be in "land of the free" and follow our constitution on "free speech" in the USA.
