Why do people comment online?

From source 2 I can see that there are positive and negative feelings/comments about the internet.

Firstly, "online presence gave them a voice, and enabled them to tap into national debate". This means that they were able to express their opinions where they like and when ever they like. Additionally, this gave them the freedom of speech, meaning that the police of any authority are not able to get involved with what they are saying on the internet.

Alternatively, it is said on the next page of source 2, "many explained that they speak without in reaction to 'misinformed' and 'misguided' views, or they feel 'frustrated'." This means that people just say something without realizing that they have said it,  because they were feeling so 'frustrated' their instant reaction is to retaliate. 

Hitler wrote an infamous book called Mien Kampf, this means "My Struggle" in German.

Should anyone have to right to have their say?

The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. By communicating an individual forms relationships and associations with other - family,friends, co-workers, church congregation, and countryman.By entering into discussion with others an individual participates in the development of knowledge and in the direction of the community.


suggestions have ranged from "forcing Twitter to take action" to "bring criminal charges against bullies." This has been interpreted, in some quarters, as woman wanting to shut down freedom of speech on the internet. This has been interpreted, in some people should be free to write and publish whatever they want online, or so the logic goes; and if that includes graphic fantasies about raping and murdering you, personal information or both, women should just learn to live with it, or get offline.
