When freedom of speech is used as an excuse for hate speech, it puts that basic freedom at risk.  Social media permits the airing of opinions which do not necessarily reflect the content of political propaganda.  So it actually has value.  It is too easy for people to allow themselves to be programmed by the media,  to conform in ways which ate not always in their best interests. Whenever I read anything, I always think in terms of probability and likelihood.  I am a Doubting Thomas.
