Re: Freedom of speech
There are already laws about slander, bullying, verbal abuse, why do we need another one. People should be more accountable for what they write on social media in the same way you would get a thick ear (or done for verbal abuse) if you said it down the pub...
If you have to be anonymous in order to say something, you know it's wrong....
