Mexico Turns to Social Media for Information and Survival

I disagree with the Veracruz’s State Assembly's decision to make the use of Twitter and other social media networks to undermine police public order.  That's law is taking away the people's freedom of speech, especially in a country where the media, press, and the police can't be trusted. How will the public be made aware of what is really going on if the main source of information outlets are corrupted? People should not be using social media to provide false information that would insight public scare that might lead to greater tragedy. But in the case on warning people to avoid an area with armed gunmen who are ready to shoot and ask questions later, I support it. That's using to save countless of lives.
