Freedom of Speech

In my opinion, freedom of speech should be controlled as minimal as possible. People should have the right to say whatever they want, but they should not have the right to create a fake account or any fake information on social networks because they only cause trouble. There have been many cases where people lie about either their age or their name, and in the end someone usually gets hurt. Also, cyber bullying is fairly common in this day and age with all of the social networks, especially on Facebook. Though everyone has "freedom of speech," people take advantage of their rights by putting other people in danger either physically or psychologically. Everyone should have the right to their opinions and beliefs, but putting people down or harming them in any way is never right.

I agree that saying things that are harmful to others, both physically and psychologically, is never a good thing. However, what should the government's role be in regulating this type of harmful speech?
