Arrest of 2 Racist Netizens

The arrest make me rather sad for despite our progress, some of us have yet to evolve from the primitive level of existence. They use the anonymity in cyberspace to turn the cyber world into an anarchical virtual jungle, a free-for-all no-man's-land where ethics and morals are thrown to the wind.

We embrace the internet because it offers freedom of access and expression. But freedom of speech does not mean saying anything we like without any constraint. That would trivialise the noble idea of freedom. Freedom ought to open up channels to enhance understanding, build solidarity, bring truths to the light, expel ignorance, prejudice and hate.
