1st Amendment, Censorship, Free Speech & the History of the Bleep Button

All Laws exist when people cannot or will not Self-Govern, Self-Police or Self-Censor themselves when they speak. Americans are guaranteed Free Speech under the 1st Amendment but I truly do believe that Free Speech has gone entirely too far.
PEOPLE feel empowered & enabled to say anything anywhere at anytime they want with out regard for the consequences of their words.
This has everything to do with the unfettered lack of civility that is rampant in Society.
Just read some of the viscous comments & things people say on Social Media.
It's awful.
