Re: New Bill

Description

Just to be clear, someone can't shout falsely that there is a fire in a crowded theater, what you are saying is there should be no such protection applied to social media, that anything and everything has a right to be said regardless of imminent danger? The right to free speech is not absolute, the courts have ruled the government does have a right to limit speech. Newspapers have been editing "Letters to the Editor" ever since the section existed, why is there a new outcry on this issue of media limiting speech? Can you tell a supervisor to f*** off without jeopardizing your job? Perhaps a law that prohibits the limitation of speech would then be unconstitutional. Oh but no legislator could make such a law if your post would become reality. A legislator, and true of citizens, does not always know how the judicial system will rule on a particular matter. Plessey v. Ferguson later overturned on matters related to education in Brown v Board of Education. So how does a legislature know for certain that their bill is unconstitutional? Your agenda is hardly opaque.
