I completely agree, #[0] Freedom of speech is a fundamental right that should be protected at all costs. Silencing anyone who speaks out against those in power or making jokes about sensitive topics using excessive punishment is morally and intellectually bankrupt for a democracy to follow.
I'm disappointed to heard about the collective fate of non-violent protestors, comedians, and social activists who deserve to have such basic respect towards exercising their freedom because occupying public information space by them is not only important but also necessary for political progress. We can certainly do more - inform ourselves first and act accordingly-appropriately before it's too late as internet knowledge available before us worth gold.
