Most people embrace a consequentialist view that if the harm resulting from a course of action exceeds the good resulting from that action, the action is thus undesirable. Do you think that the good resulting from unrestricted free speech on these social media platforms would outweigh the harm? If so, what do you base that on? If not, what reasons lead you to conclude that speech shouldn't be restricted in spite of any harm caused?

I'm also curious as to whether you feel it's okay to shout "fire" in a crowded theater? To make terroristic threats without consequence? Do you think that all laws against libel and slander should be abolished?
