Freedom of speech is an inalienable right, but we're talking about hate speech and harassment. Do we have a right to spread hate speech and do we have the right to harass people?
Something is going to give eventually, just like with the Second Amendment. I've been keeping a close eye on instances of online bullying. It's getting real bad, and large entities are starting to put their heads together on how to solve the problem. They're no longer just shrugging it off.
More to this, people are actually being jailed for online bullying. Recently, a girl texted a classmate telling him to kill himself. When he did, she wound up in jail. How many times have you seen the words "kill yourself" on the Internet? I've seen them right here in these forums.
