In the information age, we are still trying to figure out the murky boundary cases in a way that makes sense, both legally and socially. Those cases include: cyber-bullying, drawing mohammad, posting people's address online, trolling, cease-and-desist[1], fake news / pizza-gate, speech-codes [2], whistle-blowing 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBO5dh9qrIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBO5dh9qrIQ 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%22niggardly%22#University_of_Wisconsin.E2.80.93Madison_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%...
