Free Speech and Lies

  Does free speech include the right to spread lies?
  Do social media platforms such as Facebook and Apple have an obligation to monitor and edit stuff posted by their users to prevent malicious material from inciting violence?
  If so, who decides which postings should be blocked, and where is the line separating opinion from slander?

   These are the questions making the rounds these days, and the answers society comes up with will either strengthen or destroy democracy as we know it.
