I'd be interested to hear what the diehard freedom of speech advocates on here make of this. I've mentioned before that I anticipated something like this happening on Twitter, so I'm not surprised it's finally come about. Do you think it's an issue with 'citizen journalists' (not that that is who these tweeters necessarily are), that they are untrained and liable to make mistakes like this?
