    Hard disagree.

    If one person’s rights negatively affect another persons rights you can’t just rule one right to be more important in every situation. There’s gotta be more nuance than that.

      You can say whatever you want without affecting other people’s rights.

        Speech on Facebook/Instagram/etc can constitute harassment, which is a rights violation. That said, harassment has two parts to it:

        • actual harm to receiver
        • intended harm by the speaker

        The second is harder to prove, but fortunately social media has a lot of samples to pick from to demonstrate a pattern.
