ITP V.013 SOCIAL JUSTICE: CAMERON D'AMBROSIO CASE DROPPED
Charges against Boston based teen "rapper" CAMERON D'AMBROSIO have been DROPPED as he posted "rap lyrics" on social network site FACEBOOK that made reference to the Boston (Marathon) Bombing and had been arrested and charged with "terrorism"and denied bail.
Is the CAMERON D'AMBROSIO case an issue of avoiding a crisis, or overzealous prosecution regarding freedom of speech and expression?
EFF and FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE helped CAMERON D'AMBROSIO get his case dismissed soliciting signatures under 1st amendment.
