Abuse of freedom of expression?
Social media is a platform for different opinions and often people use to express their views and beliefs. While the forum is an excellent place for discussion and debate, people often tend to walk on the other side of the thin line in the name of free speech.
We have often seen discourse distorted after one or two harsh remarks on sensitive subjects or subjects of national interest. The most recent example is the tragic death of Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat, his wife and 11 other defense personnel in a helicopter crash in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu.
