freedom of speech on line has been in the form -- give me moment here, david keyes little hand it stands for strategic public test dissipation. that is basically when a business owner doesn't like a review of their business and says i am going to threaten to sue you, may actually go forward with it that use the user the person who wrote the review or share that experience knows that it -- you are the little guy and might not have the money to go to court over what you wrote about a chinese food restaurant or car mechanics and instead of doing that you take off your review and so does protected because of section 230 of the communication act. we are worried about is the chilling affect those types of sets of lawsuits could have on people's the otherwise share their experience.
