Should tweets be Iimited or filtered?

I'm seeing a lot of hate speech and disinformation on Twitter. Should that be allowed? Yes, there is freedom of expression so I suppose lying and screaming fire in a virtual theater is ok but somehow it just seems so wrong for Ann Coulter to beg for the extermination of the old and infirm in the name of capitalism.

Certain hate speech is allowed while others aren't from what I've seen, I've seen very racist stuff on twitter (more than any other site) and it goes unchecked and supported. If you misgender someone though you're banned. Its really weird and another reason I don't go on it, its the most toxic place I've ever been to, makes 4chan look polite.

Freedom of speech is not unfettered. Espousing physical harm is not legal.

While seldom enforced, slander and libel still exist. We just need a judicial system willing to enforce the law.

She's an idiot, but they can't, or should, censor her. People either agree with her, or they don't, and she gets $s out of controversial positions.=
