Free speech is free speech. Gaming beliefs aside that’s something I feel very strongly about. You shouldn’t abuse power to silence the internet because a leak happened under your watch. It’s not silencing people outright discussing spoilers, it’s also people that are talking about the spoilers without context (basically reactions without actual spoilers). Sony going about this very aggressively and even its apologists must recognize that. 

Property is property, and freedom of speech isn't unlimited as well. If you have access to confidential material you can't claim freedom of speech to divulge it.

Sure Sony is aggressive on it, but seeing their own tweet was targeted it certainly have something to do with Tweeter algorythm being overzealous to avoid any possible Sony retaliation on not taking action on a subpuena.

The thing is it’s not confidential anymore. It’s out there and has been for some time now. This isn’t a classified government document...it’s a plot of a video game. People talked about Star Wars spoilers and I don’t recall Disney going about things the way Sony is.

Sure I can get behind silencing videos and tweets or whatever that actively post spoiler content. But memes, reactions, and non contextual discussions...that’s wrong.
