This one is interesting because there are cases where shouting "Fire" is
the correct
and necessary thing to do.

The internet is new in that it allows the shouting of an alarm in virtually
all theaters in all time zones from
any timezone.

In the US constitutional rights do carry responsibility and that is often
ignored, unstated unconsidered.
SInce the internet has international reach how does the constitution
apply...

SUMMARY: any law or tech solution needs to address the lack of overarching
international law.
