This article I found is about how Arizona lawmakers are contemplating on the best legal action to take against cyberbullying. The bill they are proposing would make it legal for authorities to arrest online troublemakers who write negative comments on news and social media sites. However, some say that this is going against the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech, making the bill unconstitutional.
I don't think this bill should even be thought of because there is no way to have it do what the lawmakers want it to without infringing peoples' rights. If this bill is somehow passed, it could mean countless arrests of people stating their negative opinions about other. Even if it was limited to person-to-person communication, it would still infringe a person's rights because what they would be allowed to say would be limited by law, which is against the First Amendment.
