Freedom of speech

Today's blog topic talks about freedom of speech, I'm guessing it's relating to the twitter. Freedom of speech can be good or bad, and it also depends on the concept on what your saying, If it's bad for the individual then no I don't think it is, because you should be able to say what you want, especially when people ask you to. If people are worried about someone saying things that might make the other listeners think, and possibly change something, then yes it could be bad, one person can affect many people easily. Not everyone gets they're mind changed by other peoples opinions though, and I believe this is how it should be, the world is made up of many different individuals with individual opinions. Some peoples thought and ideas might not be for the best of the majority, but that's just how it is. I think freedom of speech is just letting out what you wanna say on the inside, so it's just deciding to let it out instead of keeping it in, doesn't make much of a difference to me.

But do you believe that such freedoms should have limits? What if people were tearing a group of people down and destroying reputations with lies? Should we tolerate that for the sake of preserving "freedom" of speech?
