A row has erupted in the Middle East after officials banned a Facebook user in Abu Dhabi for breaking the law after they "insulted" Islam by claiming to be Allah.

His actions sparked a wave a protest, with many calling on users to boycott the social networking site unless the site was removed.

With the freedom of the internet to post anything you want, do you think this is only freedom of expression? should you be careful on what you do in the internet?

Always becareful what you do on the internet. They internet is only free (by free I mean liberty free) in some places. Like China hacked google from showing pictures that would hurt them and officials in the middle east ban people for insulting Islam. And no, it isn't freedom of expression you can tell when its freedom of expression and when it is infact an insult.

I think you should always be careful what you reveal to the public. Freedom of expression isn't the case in all parts of the world.

People should really becareful about doing stupid stuff on the internet.
The police can trace their IPs to people posting illegal activities.
Smart people on the internet can hunt down anyone with only a few photos.
(some people like to show off how they torture and kill cats on pet forums,
the people on the forum will hunt the guy down and call the police on the person.)

So yeah, freedom of expression does not mean you are free to mess around on the internet.

i think that you should be careful of what you post in the internet because even though it might not be an insult to you it might be an insult to other people
