PRIVACY VS FREEDOM OF SPEECH

I believe that privacy and freedom of speech on the web should be policed by lifting words from chats and emails that may be a threat to a person or persons health or well being. Doing this would keep people that don’t want to government snooping in the privacy calm, and the parents that want there children safe satisfied. It would create a type of intimidation towards criminals and cyber bullies that would hopefully decrease the rate of online violence. The problem with this idea is that criminals would create a whole new online language to sneak by the guard undetected. For an example in WWII when the Allies and Axis began incepting radio stations, and from this a language was born full of codes, signals, and warnings.
