Does new media limit or expand our personal freedom?

Nowadays technology grows as fast as development of social networking.  Many people start to blogging, at least they have facebook account, either because of technology literacy reason or they just follow what is common stuff on the internet along they environment. Internet is the right place to find news, learn something new, and we can express what we feel on that time. For some cases, Internet can make someone famous. New media facilitate us with their great application, so that we can share our daily activities, upload our photos, share something with our friends. All we can do easily. 

But, does new media limit our  personal freedom? Can we go to jail because of what we have posted or shared? In my opinion, new media definitely is not limit our personal freedom. We have freedom of speech and freedom of the press. However, there are still some rules that must be obeyed. For example, you can posting any activities what you've done or about your friends, upload your own photos, comment on friend's status. But, if your share contain of pornography, ect. and it is flagged, your account will be deleted. 

So, be careful with your share, make sure that it's not contain pornography and hurt anybody or community. Internet can lead us to emotional intelligence to build community or network for help people.Be a smart people by using new media correctly.
