Eight Values of Free Expression

  The freedom of speech is held in the highest regard to the US. It allows expression, conversation, and the exchanging of ideas.

People use the internet to hide while they attack people. Cyber Bullying unfortunately has only just jumped with social media. This has made a lot of people view social as a toxic place.   Cyber bullying can consist of more than just insulting people on the internet. It can also be spreading lies about a person that could potentially harm their reputation them or the people around them. Another form of cyber bullying is impersonating someone and then doing acts that would reflect badly on them. These actions hurt more then just the target. The
