    I think what you raised up is a good point.

    On one hand, there should be censorship to extreme activism. I think extreme forms could be like using the online platform to translate into real world actions which are detrimental to society, for example, terrorism.

    However, what happens when the purpose for example, is to topple down a dictatorship ? Will be it ethical then to achieve democracy using the online platform to organise terrorist activities that end up harming people?
